Hello, assume the following table: create table test ( id integer not null generated always as identity, data integer not null ); The following insert works fine: insert into test (id, data) values (default,1); However, a multi-row insert like the following: insert into test (id, data) values (default,1), (default,2); fails with: ERROR: cannot insert into column "id" Detail: Column "id" is an identity column defined as GENERATED ALWAYS. Hint: Use OVERRIDING SYSTEM VALUE to override. My question is: * If DEFAULT is not allowed for identity columns, then why does the single-row insert work? * If DEFAULT _is_ allowed, then why does the multi-row insert fail? The above happens with Postgres 10,11 and 12 Regards Thomas
