When I try to do a default value for the bit datatype, eg: CREATE TABLE my_calendar ( ID serial NOT NULL , Global_field bit DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL , ) I get the message: ERROR: Attribute 'global_field' is of type 'bit' but default expression is of type 'int4' You will need to rewrite or cast the expression I have tried (bit) 0, bit(0), bit 0, etc but have not found a way to do casting. Can anyone help me to set a default value for a bit datatype field?
