I'm not 100% sure but I don't think that's what it says. If you create a nullable column with a non-null default it won't rewrite the whole table anymore. You could get this behaviour in PostgreSQL 10 by creating the column and setting its default in separate DDL statements (all in a single transaction).

> Though PFOA was not classified by the government as a hazardous substance, 3M sent DuPont recommendations on how to dispose of it. It was to be incinerated or sent to chemical-waste facilities. DuPont’s own instructions specified that it was not to be flushed into surface water or sewers.
There's nothing noble here, just a company being greedy. We could still have those things you are referring to but without the costs to the public.

It seems that only a single company has entered the auction for the tender because everyone else could see that the project was destined for failure. The company also allegedly employs three people and pays its programmers around 2000 zł/month (which is very low even by polish standards).
