Re: BUG #4324: Default value for a column is not returned in select when column has not been explicitly set

Works for me:

regression=# create table foo (f1 int);
CREATE TABLE
regression=# insert into foo values(1),(2);
INSERT 0 2
regression=# alter table foo add column b bool default true;
ALTER TABLE
regression=# select * from foo;
 f1 | b
----+---
  1 | t
  2 | t
(2 rows)

Please provide a concrete test case to demonstrate what you are seeing.
