RE: [GENERAL] Still the problem with the autoincrement field

Try:
insert into
offene_stellen (bezeichnung,arbeitsort,berater,gefordert,geboten)
values
('Maurer', 'Buchs', 'Rheinhalter Claudio', 'flexibilitaet', 'gutes Team');

Hi there.

As two people said I created now a sequence .... I have the following now:

Database    = jobforum
 +------------------+----------------------------------+----------+
 |  Owner           |             Relation             |   Type   |
 +------------------+----------------------------------+----------+
 | postgres         | offene_stellen                   | table    |
 | postgres         | seq                              | sequence |
 +------------------+----------------------------------+----------+

Table    = offene_stellen
+----------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----
--+
|              Field               |              Type                |

+----------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----

| id                               | int4 default nextval ( 'seq' )   |

| bezeichnung                      | char()                           |

| arbeitsort                       | char()                           |

| berater                          | char()                           |

| gefordert                        | char()                           |

| geboten                          | char()                           |

+----------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----

Table    = seq

| increment_by                     | int4                             |

and when I want to add some data .. how to do this?
when I do the following:

insert into offene_stellen values ('', 'Maurer', 'Buchs', 'Rheinhalter
Claudio', 'flexibilitaet', 'gutes Team');

the id field is always 0, and when I do a:

insert into offene_stellen values ('Maurer', 'Buchs', 'Rheinhalter Claudio',
'flexibilitaet', 'gutes Team');

I get a:
ERROR:  pg_atoi: error in "Maurer": can't parse "Maurer"


How do I add data, so that the id field is autoincremented?
