null to no effects

change_column will not query to replace the null values when you change null to false, even if you have a default set. This may cause the query to fail (may depend on the database used).

change_column_null will optionally take a value to replace nulls if you are setting null to false. If you want to set a default and disallow nulls you likely can’t do both in one change_column call.
