Re: Bug with serial columns

Insert your values with out the idfam in them, i.e.:

INSERT INTO fam (nombre) VALUES ('TEM');
INSERT INTO fam (nombre) VALUES ('ESC');
INSERT INTO fam (nombre) VALUES ('EXP');
INSERT INTO fam (nombre) VALUES ('STA');
INSERT INTO fam (nombre) VALUES ('AME');
INSERT INTO fam (nombre) VALUES ('VOL');
INSERT INTO fam (nombre) VALUES ('FAL');
INSERT INTO fam (nombre) VALUES ('CAR');
INSERT INTO fam (nombre) VALUES ('ELE');
