[GENERAL] Indicating DEFAULT values in INSERT statement

[Postgres User]

Hi,

According to the docs, the DEFAULT keyword lets you explicitly insert a
field's default value in an INSERT statement.

>From a db function, I'd like to force the use of default when an input
parameter is null.  This syntax looks correct but fails to compile.

Any suggestions?

INSERT INTO public.test
(
userid, object_id, user_notes, object_status, created_ts
)
VALUES
(
p_userid, p_obj_id, p_user_notes, p_obj_status,
        Case When p_created_ts Is Not Null Then p_created_ts Else DEFAULT
End
);

I tried replacing the Case statement as follows, but it fails also:
 Coalesce(p_created_ts, DEFAULT)

Thanks
