It is not clear what you are trying to do. You can only insert values in 
fields that exist -- there is no "name" field in your table, so you cannot 
insert a value for a "name" field. If you want to insert a value for 
"reply", then you must specify the "reply" field:

db.post.insert(reply='report')

Where does "name" come from in this scenario?
