Updatable Views - DEFAULT doesn't inherit from table??? - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hi,
I have problems with inserting rows into an updatable view through it's
insert rule.
Running this:
insert into view_products_1
(id,firmid,name_en,name_hu,artnum1,artnum2,description_hu,description_en,pkgunitid,minpkg,customstariff,vat)
values
('23','1','dddddddd','dddddddddddd','dddddddddd','dddddddd','ddddddddd','dddddddddd','1','10','2022220','20')

the engine sends this error:
ERROR:  null value in column "qtyunitid" violates not-null constraint

********** Error **********
ERROR: null value in column "qtyunitid" violates not-null constraint
SQL state: 23502

But in the table definition I defined DEFULT=(-1) for this field. What's
going wrong? Shouldn't it inherit these settings from the table?

Many thanks,

Here is the table:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CREATE TABLE whm.products

  id serial NOT NULL,
  firmid integer NOT NULL,
  name_en character varying(250) NOT NULL DEFAULT ''::character varying,

And here is the definition of the view:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

products.pkgunitid, products.minpkg, products.customstariff, products.vat,
products.service, products.notes  FROM whm.products WHERE products.firmid =
1;

CREATE OR REPLACE RULE view_products_1_insert AS
    ON INSERT TO whm.view_products_1 DO INSTEAD  INSERT INTO whm.products
(firmid, name_en, name_hu, artnum1, artnum2, description_hu, description_en,
qtyunitid, pkgunitid, minpkg, customstariff, vat, service, notes)
  VALUES (1, new.name_en, new.name_hu, new.artnum1, new.artnum2,
new.description_hu, new.description_en, new.qtyunitid, new.pkgunitid,
new.minpkg, new.customstariff, new.vat, new.service, new.notes);
