Rails set default DateTime to now

Question

In my app I have teams and each team has a game time every week. I want the game times to be set to \'now\' as a default. My table is set up like so

create_         


        

Answer 1

for Postgresql :

add_column :users, :msgs_seen_at, 'TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP'

but you'll have to use user.reload after user = User.create in order to "see" msgs_seen_at
