We can't help you understand if you don't show a complete working example
and ask a question in relation to that example.  I suggest you start from

replayable.

David,

INSERT into companies (company_nbr,company_name,industry,status) VALUES
(DEFAULT,'A new company name', 'Manufacturing',DEFAULT);

I always write scrips for SQL, R, GRASS, Python, bash. Above is a redacted
version of the single name I tried adding to the companies table.

Yesterday, before learning to use DEFAULT for the company_nbr PK I entered
all rows using company_nbr 2342-2391. This morning, after running the

Not with:

Table "public.companies"

	[...]
Indexes:
    "organizations_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (company_nbr)

That would throw duplicate key errors.

Are you sure that you did not do this on the contacts table as the company FK back to companies?


single-line INSERT command company numbers from 2341-2392 all had 'A new
company name' as the company_name.
