Assuming 'people_person_nbr_seq' is the sequence attached to person_nbr

INSERT INTO people

direct_phone, cell_phone,email, active)
VALUES
(DEFAULT, 'klaver', 'adrian', DEFAULT, 1, 1, '555-1234', '555-4321',
'adrian.klaver@xxxxxxxxxxx', DEFAULT);
If they are not the column defaults then just supply the literal value.
Adrian,
No matter how many postgres docs and web pages I read I didn't find an
example as explicit as yours. Columns other than the person_nbr were not
defined with defaults and I expected to enter them for each row.
The 'Examples' section at the bottom of this page:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-insert.html
is a useful resource.
Many thanks for another valuable lesson.
Best regards,
Rich
