It seems that this changed a little bit: 'require' is mainly used to
create the table. Once it is created, the model will consider the
column required if its default value is not NULL (in the database, not
in the model definitions). To make it required *after* the table was
created, you have to manually change your table and set the default
value for the field to NULL.
