Why doesnt a default value affect the table in sqlalchemy?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
Im trying to update my tables and add new column, to this column should be a default Integer value, I tried to use default and also default_server as recommend here: Why isn't sqlalchemy's default column value working
but the value of this field stay null, It is possible to set Integer default value?
col = Column(field_name, data_type, default=0)
column_name = column.compile(dialect=engine.dialect)
column_type = column.type.compile(engine.dialect)
engine.execute('ALTER TABLE %s ADD COLUMN %s %s' % (table_name, column_name, column_type))
python sqlalchemy

Btw please tag questions using raw SQL with the DBMS you're using, since some statements can differ between them.

The problem is that your manual ALTER TABLE
statement does not add the default and leaves the column nullable; having server_default
on the Column
object has no effect. If you want a default, add it:
engine.execute('ALTER TABLE %s ADD COLUMN %s %s DEFAULT 0' % (table_name, column_name, column_type))
I'd highly recommend using alembic for database migrations.
perfect, thanks!
