%feature("docstring")  SetDefault "void
OGR_Fld_SetDefault(OGRFieldDefnH hDefn, const char *pszDefault)

Set default field value.

The default field value is taken into account by drivers (generally
those with a SQL interface) that support it at field creation time.
OGR will generally not automatically set the default field value to
null fields by itself when calling OGRFeature::CreateFeature() /
OGRFeature::SetFeature(), but will let the low-level layers to do the
job. So retrieving the feature from the layer is recommended.

The accepted values are NULL, a numeric value, a literal value
enclosed between single quote characters (and inner single quote
characters escaped by repetition of the single quote character),
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, CURRENT_TIME, CURRENT_DATE or a driver specific
expression (that might be ignored by other drivers). For a datetime
literal value, format should be 'YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS[.sss]'
(considered as UTC time).

Drivers that support writing DEFAULT clauses will advertize the
GDAL_DCAP_DEFAULT_FIELDS driver metadata item.

This function is the same as the C++ method
OGRFieldDefn::SetDefault().

Parameters:
-----------

hDefn:  handle to the field definition.

%feature("docstring")  IsNullable "int
OGR_Fld_IsNullable(OGRFieldDefnH hDefn)

Return whether this field can receive null values.

By default, fields are nullable.

Even if this method returns FALSE (i.e not-nullable field), it doesn't
mean that OGRFeature::IsFieldSet() will necessary return TRUE, as
fields can be temporary unset and null /not-null validation is usually
done when OGRLayer::CreateFeature()/SetFeature() is called.

This method is the same as the C++ method OGRFieldDefn::IsNullable().

Parameters:
-----------

hDefn:  handle to the field definition

TRUE if the field is authorized to be null.

%feature("docstring")  SetNullable "void
OGR_Fld_SetNullable(OGRFieldDefnH hDefn, int bNullableIn)

Set whether this field can receive null values.

By default, fields are nullable, so this method is generally called
with FALSE to set a not-null constraint.

Drivers that support writing not-null constraint will advertize the
GDAL_DCAP_NOTNULL_FIELDS driver metadata item.

This method is the same as the C++ method OGRFieldDefn::SetNullable().

Parameters:
-----------

Update the type of a field definition by \"merging\" its existing type
with a new type.

The update is done such as broadening the type. For example a
OFTInteger updated with OFTInteger64 will be promoted to OFTInteger64.

Parameters:
-----------

poFDefn:  the field definition whose type must be updated.

eNewType:  the new field type to merge into the existing type.

eNewSubType:  the new field subtype to merge into the existing
subtype.
