Rossana,

Also, I suggest you put the column names (not their data types) separate
from the values. Here's an example of a script I use (Slackware64 linux):

\d enforcement
                    Table "public.enforcement"
      Column     |  Type   | Collation | Nullable |   Default 
----------------+---------+-----------+----------+--------------
  company_nbr    | integer |           |          |
  action_date    | date    |           | not null | CURRENT_DATE
  penalty_amount | real    |           |          |
  reason         | text    |           |          |
  comment        | text    |           |          | 
Foreign-key constraints:
     "enforcement_company_nbr_fkey" FOREIGN KEY (company_nbr) REFERENCES companies(company_nbr) ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE RESTRICT

insert into enforcement (company_nbr, action_date, penalty_amount, reason, comment) values (123, '2024-10-23', default, 'Did a wrong thing.', null);

HTH,

Rich
