DEFAULT TEXT 'now' in create table

Hi

I´m making tests on datetime fields and try to use DEFAULT TEXT 'now' but
it end up always with the same time.

Is it OK? I do not think so! Perhaps I made some mistakes or do not
understood the manuals.

PostgreSQL 6.4.0 - Sparc Solaris 2.5 - front end psql

test=>
test=>
test=>
test=> CREATE SEQUENCE seq_conex\g
CREATE
test=>
CREATE TABLE conex (
id int4 PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT NEXTVAL('seq_conex'),

hora time DEFAULT TEXT 'now',
ms int4 ,
dt datetime DEFAULT
TEXT 'now'
)\g
test-> test-> test-> test-> test-> NOTICE: CREATE
TABLE/PRIMARY KEY will create implicit index conex_pkey for table
conex
CREATE
test=> insert into conex (ms) values (100000) \g
INSERT
6113923 1
test=> select * from conex\g
id|hora | ms|dt

--+--------+------+--------------------------

1|13:58:39|100000|12/02/1999 13:58:39.00 EDT
(1 row)

-- After +- 2 minutes ...

test=> insert into conex (ms) values (140110) \g
INSERT 6113924 1
test=>
select * from conex\g
id|hora | ms|dt

--+--------+------+--------------------------

1|13:58:39|100000|12/02/1999 13:58:39.00 EDT
2|13:58:39|140110|12/02/1999
13:58:39.00 EDT ==> I think should be 14:01:10.00
(2 rows)

Thank You!

Hi!
Instead of 'now' use now() this will always insert actual time - I have
teh same problem :-)
