Last Identity added

Hi, I'm going to be using Oracle with a customer. I will access
Informix with ODBC. All the tables have a serial column, this is the
ID for the record. I need to know how I can get the value of the
serial column for the last record inserted. A stored procedure maybe?

TIA

You could use the 'returning <column_name> clause' of the insert
statement, if you run the insert inside a stored procedure.
If you are using sequences for the id column (which you should do),
you could have a stored procedure running
select <sequence>.currval from dual;
only.
