cannot get simple PostgreSQL insert to work

Use 'auto dealer' instead. PostgreSQL interprets " as being quotes for identifiers, ' as being quotes for strings.

Also:

  • If this is a new project, just don’t use mixed case tables; it is a
    source of frustration later. Instead of being able to use any case in
    your SQL statements, you must both quote the identifier name and get
    the case correct.

  • There is no need to specify id/DEFAULT, you’re
    asking it to do what it would have done already. I haven’t met a DBMS
    that requires you to include columnName/DEFAULT if you want it to
    put the default value in the column, so I don’t think this extra KV
    pair is going to make what is happening clearer to anyone reading
    your code later.
