ColumnDefault (Hibernate Javadocs (hibernate-core))

```
@Target({FIELD,METHOD})
@Retention(RUNTIME)
public @interface ColumnDefault
```
Specifies that a column has a default value specified in DDL.
@ColumnDefault may be used in combination with:
- @DynamicInsert, to let the database fill in the value of a null entity attribute, or
- @Generated, to populate an entity attribute with the defaulted value of a database column.
If @Generated is not used, a default value can cause state held in memory to lose synchronization with the database.
