 Please note that we're still adding new methods to the database API. If one you want is still missing and does not have a [/report/1 ticket], please [/newticket add one].
 
-=== add_column(table_name, name, field) ===
+=== add_column(table_name, name, field, keep_default=True) ===
 
 Adds the column with name 'name' to the table 'table_name'. Uses the
 'field' instance to determine the type and other options for the column.
+
+If `keep_default` is `True`, then the field's default value will be applied to the database using SET DEFAULT. If it's `False`, then the default will only be used to populate existing rows, and will not be stored on the column for future INSERTs.
