I need to insert a row into one table and use this row's id to insert two more rows into a different table within one transaction. I've tried this
begin;
insert into table default values returning table.id as C;
insert into table1(table1_id, column1) values (C, 1);
insert into table1(table1_id, column1) values (C, 2);
commit;
But it doesn't work. How can I fix it?

You need a CTE, and you don't need a begin/commit to do it in one transaction:
WITH inserted AS (
INSERT INTO ... RETURNING id
)
INSERT INTO other_table (id)
SELECT id
FROM inserted;
Edit: To insert two rows into a single table using that id, you could do that two ways:
With these tables as the setup:
CREATE TEMP TABLE t1 (id INTEGER);
CREATE TEMP TABLE t2 (id INTEGER, t TEXT);
Method 1:
WITH inserted1 AS (
INSERT INTO t1
SELECT 9
RETURNING id
), inserted2 AS (
INSERT INTO t2
SELECT id, 'some val'
FROM inserted1
RETURNING id
)
INSERT INTO t2
SELECT id, 'other val'
FROM inserted1
Method 2:
WITH inserted AS (
INSERT INTO t1
SELECT 4
RETURNING id
)
INSERT INTO t2
SELECT id, v
FROM inserted
CROSS JOIN (
VALUES
('val1'),
('val2')
) vals(v)
If you run either, then check t2, you'll see it will contain the expected values.
ERROR: current transaction is aborted, commands ignored until end of transaction block SQL state: 25P02?Please find the below query:
insert into table1(columnName)values('stack2');
insert into table_2 values(SCOPE_IDENTITY(),'val1','val2');
