How would I specify a field that's to be updated to current_time everytime the row is created/altered?
Create a trigger. There are some good examples in the PL/pgSQL docs.
Is there some way to put this 'update' property into the table instead of running some query to do it?
Triggers are the way to go in Postgres.

Thanks for the pointer. That should be enough.
