Same as any other column with a default value.

If you're inserting NULL into the column the NULL will override the
default. Postgres does what you tell it. 

If you want the default value use the keyword DEFAULT (in for the
value in that column) or don't mention that column. The DEFAULT 
keyword also works with UPDATE.
