ableto reference to an external JSON file which could be used for the default value.
1) Stick the default json in a table somewhere, say default_json with
one row, one column
2) Wrap the table with a function, default_json() that returns the
value from the table
3) Make a default function for the table, DEFAULT default_json().
That way you externalize the default into the database
