David,
INSERT into companies (company_nbr,company_name,industry,status) VALUES
(DEFAULT,'A new company name', 'Manufacturing',DEFAULT);
I always write scrips for SQL, R, GRASS, Python, bash. Above is a redacted
version of the single name I tried adding to the companies table.
Yesterday, before learning to use DEFAULT for the company_nbr PK I entered
all rows using company_nbr 2342-2391. This morning, after running the
single-line INSERT command company numbers from 2341-2392 all had 'A new
company name' as the company_name.
HTH,
Rich
