Example Code

created_at: datetime.datetime = datetime.datetime.now()

Description

I am trying to figure out a way to set the SQL column property "Default Value or Binding" via an SQLModel model. I'm trying to make it so that a datetime field defaults to GETUTCDATE(). I know I can do something like "created_at: datetime.datetime = datetime.datetime.now()" but that doesn't exactly apply the default to the column itself. I want to create the table with this default on the field so no matter how the data gets into that table, the field will always will in with GETUTCDATE(). Is there a way to do this in SQLModel? Thanks.
