Summary
postgrest.constants.NOWas a typed sentinel for PostgreSQL's current transaction timestamp"now()"value sent to PostgREST while exposing adatetimetype for generated update payloadsTypedDictdatetime fieldWhy
Generated Python update types represent timestamp columns as
datetime. Until now, setting one of those columns to PostgreSQL's current timestamp required an inline type cast or weakening the generated type. The new sentinel provides an idiomatic, reusable value without changing request serialization.Closes #1564.
