After switching over to using the DbGenerator and DbMerger from flat SQL
files, I see this to be of fairly major importance. Since the database
doesn't know what default values should be, I'm finding myself reworking
a fair amount of code to add these where it wouldn't otherwise be
necessary.
For something as cool and impressive as the DbGenerator is, I think it
deserves a priority higher than "someday" :)

Interesting. I just added a note to
https://issues.apache.org/cayenne/browse/CAY-400
in case we want to include this idea as part of that task. It really
isn't that hard to implement: just a question of creating the GUI that
works for different types of data (eg. compare long documentation data
to short properties).
