insert statement in postgres for data type timestamp without time zone NOT NULL,
In addition to C. Ramseyer's solution (which is right), if you always (or even usually) want make_date to be the date the record was created, you can set its default to now():
alter table inventory_tbl alter make_date set default now();Then if you don't include it in the list of columns in your insert, it'll be automatically set to now():
test=> insert into inventory_tbl ( name ) values ('brick'), ('sand'), ('obsidian') returning *; make_date | name ----------------------------+---------- 2013-03-21 09:10:59.897666 | brick 2013-03-21 09:10:59.897666 | sand 2013-03-21 09:10:59.897666 | obsidian(3 rows)INSERT 0 3
