Bug reference:      8131
Logged by:          Hajo Lemcke

PostgreSQL version: 9.2.4
Operating system:   Win-7
Description:        =


I would like to have the default value replace a given null value if the
column is specified with not null and default.

The SQL specification only requires to set the default value when the column
is omitted on insert or update.

I think this is a flaw in the specification because it requires developers
to create multiple statements for inserts and updates for all combinations
of default not null columns.
