AFAIK, it's not possible to point the field's default value using a
special value in the related array member. Because, you cannot declare
any special value in the array: NULL will be treated as NULL and other
char values as is.
(Recommended.) Why don't you omit id in the target table fields?
For instance:
sprintf(sql_cmd, "INSERT INTO test (" (id_will_be_default) ? "" : "id, " "name)
VALUES(" "..."); PQexecParams(conn, sql_cmd, ...);
You can also learn the default value of the related field too. (For
more information, run psql with -E parameter and type \d <table>.)
Furthermore, it's possible to define a RULE like:
ON INSERT IF NEW.id = 0 USE DEFAULT
This will assume 0 as a reference to default value.
HTH.
