sql: support ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN SET NOT NULL DEFAULT #88000

Open xorth opened 2 years ago

xorth commented 2 years ago

#28751 added altering a column to now allow nulls, but if you have a massive table full of nulls, there is no way to move those to a default value.

We need:

alter table alter column set not null default 0;
