PostgreSQL allowed for the CREATE TABLE with a column of "desc" because
you used double-quotes around the name. DESC is a keyword as in:

SELECT name
FROM employees
ORDER BY name DESC;
              ^^^^

Therefore, if you use it as a column, you must put double-quotes around
it in all your queries:

INSERT INTO irelbcmb (id, id_pad, "desc", cod, sys_var, nom_var)
VALUES (1, 1, 1, 'pippo','1','pippo');

Hope that helps,
