Description

When adding a "not null" column to a table with rows, or when setting a column to "not null", there should be a way to tell DbMerger about the values that should be used instead of null for existing rows.

With this information, the merger should create sql like the following before setting the column to "not null".
update table set col='the value' where col is null;
