* dump and schema

I have a problem with date default and schema's and don't know wether I am
doing something wrong or not.
All my tables (more than 100) have a field datumi of type date default
today, as this example:
CREATE TABLE tabel (
....
datumi date DEFAULT 'today',
....
);
taking a dump or a schema of this table via pg_dump and restoring or using
it went fine
Now I am using postgres 7.4 and making a schema (and also the table in a
dump gave this result)
CREATE TABLE tabel(
....
datumi date DEFAULT '2003-12-10'::date,
....
);
which is not expected for a schema. Even worse by restoring a dump, all my
new records have this fixed date in the field datumi.
Something has changed? I do it in the wrong way? Is there a solution ?
many thanks

This does not work anymore in PG 7.4. You need something like
datumi date DEFAULT CURRENT_DATE,

I think this won't get the same result he expects. As I know, the
CURRENT_DATE will always give the current day, not the day you inserted
the row.
I think the now()::date seems to be a better way to translate the
'today' value.

Your knowledge is incorrect.

There is no real difference.
