Find table columns with time types, which data type and dynamically found default value have a different type.
Notes
The query finds default values that are associated directly with a base table column as well as default values that are specified through a domain. The query does not find default values of domains that are not associated with any table.
Type
Problem detection (Each row in the result could represent a flaw in the design)
Decide as to whether it is important to record information about a timezone or not and accordingly change either the type or the default value of the column.
