Thanks, still wrapping my head around psycopg2.sql. A simple example: test=# \d t2 Table "public.t2" Column | Type | Collation | Nullable | Default --------+-------------------+-----------+----------+-------------------------------- id | integer | | not null | nextval('t2_id_seq'::regclass) name | character varying | | | Indexes: "t2_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (id) import psycopg2 from psycopg2 import sql con = psycopg2.connect("dbname=test host=localhost user=aklaver") q1 = sql.SQL("insert into t2 values ({})").format(sql.SQL(",").join([sql.SQL("DEFAULT"), sql.Literal('test2')])) print(q1.as_string(con)) insert into t2 values (DEFAULT,E'test2') cur.execute(q1) test=# select * from t2; id | name ----+------- 1 | test 2 | test2 > > Cheers, > > -- Daniele > -- Adrian Klaver adrian.klaver@aklaver.com
