Assuming 'people_person_nbr_seq' is the sequence attached to person_nbr
and the other DEFAULTs are the column defaults then the syntax would be:
INSERT INTO people
(person_nbr, lname, fname, job_title, company_nbr,loc_nbr, direct_phone,
cell_phone,email, active)
VALUES
(DEFAULT, 'klaver', 'adrian', DEFAULT, 1, 1, '555-1234', '555-4321',
'[email protected]', DEFAULT);
If they are not the column defaults then just supply the literal value.
