Hello:

I have need to declare a column as type integer then default is at '0'
(that is a string with a zero in it).

An example may be: 
Create table foo (
        foo_id  int not null default '0'
)

My question centers on the notion of implicit type conversion.  Is the
server converting the type at the time the ddl (not really too big a
deal) or is it doing the conversion at run time (i.e. each time a row is
inserted in the DB).

Thanks for your time and expertise!

Best Regards,
Boyd E. Hemphill
