Given this table:
CREATE TABLE test ( id SERIAL, example TEXT );
An implicit sequence is created as show in this message:
NOTICE: CREATE TABLE will create implicit sequence 'test_id_seq' for
SERIAL column 'test.id'
How do I retrieve the last 'id' that was inserted? I have a process
that does an insert and then needs the value of the id column of the row
it just inserted so that that row can be used later in processing.
First thought is "SELECT CURRVAL('test_i d_seq');" but this assumes that
there is only one connection inserting into this table, bad assumption.
Next idea is the make 'id' an INT4 and set it explicitly with a value
that I select from an explicitly created sequence. This method seems a
bit inelegant. Any ideas?
TIA

That is what you should use, and it works for concurrent sessions. It's
all described in the manual: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.3/s...-sequence.html

Read the FAQ. Your currval assumption is wrong.

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?

I'm using ASP.Net to accress a database, what I need to do is get the fields
out of the very last record in the db.
How do I do this?
Actually I'm after the primary key, titled 'AdID' it'll tell me what number
this last record is. so I can tell what number the next record inserted will
be.
How do I do this?
Thanks,

Hi guys,
I am in troubles with a SERIAL field.
I have five tables. A parent table and four child
tables. When I do the INSERT in the parent table, I
have an ID (generated) by the sequence (SERIAL field),
and I have to use this ID to reference all child
tables.

I'm making a sequence class for my C++ class. And The thing is in the array that I have, lets say i put in {13,17,38,18}, when i see the current values for the array data from 0 to3, I get this {13, JUNK VALUE, 17,38, 18} and JUNK VALUE is like 1.8e831 or something like that.
This happens when I use the attach() function and use the current() function to display the values at data

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
