^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

should be SERIAL

WRONG. That is not ANSI-SQL. That is MySQL.
Define it as SERIAL, just like all the good database servers do.

usuario varchar(15),
fecha date,
proyecto varchar(30),
horas int4,
trabajo varchar(100),
observaciones varchar(90),
primary key(codigo));
EOF

Try to read the user manual for information on querys.

Saludos... :-)
