Richard,
Don't use SELECT * - list the columns you want to insert. I can't think
why you would do that (you'll end up with nulls in the id column) but it
will work.
In real table id is defined as
id serial primary key
so I excpect that it will be populated with correct values.
List of columns are not exactly known at script creation time (in customer
sites customers may add additional columns to table),
so using column list is not possible.
Ony way seems to generates SELECT column list dynamically at run time, but
I'm looking for nicer solution to force PostgreSql to match columns by name.
Andrus.
