The above depends on:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-insert.html

"The target column names can be listed in any order. If no list of
column names is given at all, the default is all the columns of the
table in their declared order; or the first N column names, if there are
only N columns supplied by the VALUES clause or query. The values
supplied by the VALUES clause or query are associated with the explicit
or implicit column list left-to-right.
"

If this is not the case then you can get mismatched columns where a
varchar value is being inserted into an integer field. Verify that the
table column order is the same for both tables.
