My basic idea was to implement such functionality as in Sybase and MSSQL
Server, I mean the @@identity system variable, which is filled with the
identity column of the last INSERT statement executed. I just needed
some simple solution to fix the problem. Now it works perfectly for me.

I agree that the solution INSERT...RETURNING is more general and
flexible. But I think if we have such a solution as @@identity as in
Sybase, PostgreSQL will be much more compatible and adoptable for
migrations.
