Hi

I’m running liquibase 3.1.1 on an Oracle DB. I have a change that creates a table with a column of type VARCHAR2(255) and it should have SYS\_GUID as default value: defaultValueComputed=“SYS\_GUID()”.

The resulting sql from this change is:&nbsp;Christian

It appears to be working correctly for me in the upcoming 3.2.0 code. I don’t remember if it is something I fixed, or if there is something different with your changeSet.&nbsp;

Until 3.2.0 is out (hopefully this week or early next) you can add to your changeSet. Notice the ’ marks hidden in the value portion that is being replaced.
