Re: How to INSERT empty line into SEQUENTIAL table from PHP

Hi, Stefan.

your second example should work for you.
INSERT INTO table_xx (field2, field3, field4) VALUES ('', '', '');
(keeping in mind, that your ID column is of type serial or has DEFAULT
NEXTVAL('some_sequence') ).
You can also insert values yourself:
INSERT INTO table_xx (ID, field2, field3, field4) VALUES
(NEXTVAL('some_sequence'), '', '', '');
