My question that I can't find in the documentation is that if I already have one row created where my 'id = 1' for AUTO_INCREMENT, how do I enter future values into my table and force id to auto_increment rather than having me type the value into the SQL command? This way I can let PostgreSQL add the next INTEGER rather than me having to know and avoid duplicates. INSERT INTO blades VALUES ( '2', 'data', 'data', 'data', '1234', '2010-09-20 ); Is there a way I can omit having to type the '2' above in my SQL command if 'id' column is configured for AUTO_INCREMENT -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
