Can I use "RETURNING id" in an insert statement with postgresql version 8.1.10?
I cannot find a clear example on how to use it to capture the id created by the insert statement into a variable in PHP.
Many examples are like this but don't state how to access the returned id:
INSERT INTO Addresses (address, city, state, postalcode) VALUES ('123 Main St.','Springfield','MA','01109') RETURNING id;
Thanks
Marc

Is there a reason why you can't use the currval function:
select currval('id_seq')

No. I don't recall just when RETURNING was added, but for sure it was
after 8.1.

I checked. It appeared in 8.2. Sooner than I expected actually.
