This is a very subtle point. The docs for "default": http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/ref/models/fields/#default do not explicitly say anything about creating any SQL-related code; therefore perhaps best to assume that Django does not. In effect (and this is a very crude way of putting it), a Django model is a "superset" of a SQL table. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
