Thread: Upgrade 7.3.3 to 7.4.5

Hi,

I upgraded recently DB and found that some columns with type "timestamp"
changed default values from now() to:
 receipt_date          | timestamp with time zone | not null default
'2004-09-29 09:58:03.010678+10'::timestamp with time zone

,where time is a time when psql -U postgres template1 < db_backup.sql was
executed.

I want to underline not all "timestamp default now()" columns but only some
of them.

Any ideas?


Thank you,

Igor

Those were not defined as "default now()".  More likely they were
defined as "default 'now'", which doesn't work anymore.  See the release
notes.
