Ah yes.
ALTER TABLE blah ADD COLUMN whatever integer;
UPDATE blah set whatever=1;
ALTER TABLE blah ALTER COLUMN whatever SET NOT NULL;
Produces the desired effect.
I was thinking something along the lines of
ALTER TABLE blah ADD COLUMN whatever integer not null default 1;
should work, but the above is just as handy.
