It's PostgreSQL or Postgres, not Postgre.

The last line above attempts to add a row with a single NULL value,
so you get an error about missing data for the other columns. What's
the purpose of that line? Why do you sometimes use $dbc and sometimes
$this->dbc? Do they refer to the same connection or to different
connections?
