What version of postgresql are you all using? I tried RJLG's example
code with 6.4.2, and it worked - I got different times at each insert,
so the default 'now' was being calculated at insertion time, not table
creation time. Here's what it looks like:
test2=> \d conex
Table = conex
+----------------------------------+----------------------------------+-------+
| Field | Type |
Length|
+----------------------------------+----------------------------------+-------+
| id | int4 not null default nextval (
| 4 |
| inicio | datetime default text 'now'
| 8 |
| ultimo | datetime default text 'now'
| 8 |
| ip | inet
| var |
+----------------------------------+----------------------------------+-------+
Index: conex_pkey
test2=> select * from conex;
id|inicio |ultimo
| ip
--+----------------------------+----------------------------+---------------
