How to add a column with a default value to an existing sql table?

Time:12-23

I am using PostgreSQL. So, I have already filled sql table with user_id and user balance. I want to add a new column with rating. The default rating must be filled with fives.

From such table state

user_id balance
2000000001 50
187638781 110

I need to get this

user_id balance rating
2000000001 50 5
187638781 110 5

What's the best way for this?

CodePudding user response:

Alter the table (here, named test1) to add the column with the default:

alter table test1 add column rating int default 5;
