it would be good idea to enable "empty automatic insert" like this:

mydb => create table pgx_replid ( repltime time DEFAULT current_time );
mydb => insert into pgx_replid;

====
the above should insert the value of current_time into database pgx_replid, however it is impossible yet (ver.6.3.x /
6.5.2).Now, everytime needed, one should type more complex lines like:
 

mydb => insert into pgx_replid values ( current_time );

====
in case the table was created without any DEFAULT the empty insert should insert NULL or NULLs into all (or specified)
fieldsof table as the general behavior.
