Instead of relying on Django's ORM default (which only applies to new rows created through Django), this operation runs a SQL ALTER TABLE statement to set the default in the schema itself, ensuring backward compatibility and consistency across all database access patterns.\n\nYou use it by adding an AddDefaultValue operation to your migration file after the AddField operation. It supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, CockroachDB, and MSSQL. The package has been dormant since early 2022, so while it remains functional for the Django versions it was tested against, there is no active maintenance or support for newer Django releases.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are on Django 1.11\u20133.2 and need to set database-level defaults during migrations. No, if you are on a newer Django version\u2014the package is dormant and has not been tested or updated for Django 4.0+.
