I agree with your change, but I wonder if the sentence after this one doesn't need some work too. It seems to predate ALTER COLUMN SET DEFAULT. We could add a mention of that, or just stop trying to describe the preconditions, and say something like "only columns for which a default value has been explicitly set will have an entry here". regards, tom lane
