AFAIK, this will no happen when you are using the built-in gdbm database, 
but rather is limited to the various SQL databases supported by 
interchange. In those cases you can go into yourcat/dbconf/your_sql_db/ and 
modify tablename.yoursql to assign a default value for a particular column 
using the Database COLUMN_DEF directive.
