Class DefaultClause

lib/sqlalchemy/sql/schema.py:4049–4085

A DDL-specified DEFAULT column value. :class:`.DefaultClause` is a :class:`.FetchedValue` that also generates a "DEFAULT" clause when "CREATE TABLE" is emitted. :class:`.DefaultClause` is generated automatically whenever the ``server_default``, ``server_onupdate`` arguments of

class DefaultClause(FetchedValue):
    """A DDL-specified DEFAULT column value.

    :class:`.DefaultClause` is a :class:`.FetchedValue`
    that also generates a "DEFAULT" clause when
    "CREATE TABLE" is emitted.

    :class:`.DefaultClause` is generated automatically
    whenever the ``server_default``, ``server_onupdate`` arguments of
    :class:`_schema.Column` are used.  A :class:`.DefaultClause`
    can be passed positionally as well.

    For example, the following::

        Column("foo", Integer, server_default="50")

    Is equivalent to::

        Column("foo", Integer, DefaultClause("50"))
