Josh and Ross-
Thanks...I am well aware of currval and sequence use, and for me too this
would be the easiest solution ;-)
However, we are in the midst of porting a mysql database to pgsql. The perl
application that is tied to this mysql database heavily utilizes
last_insert_id. In an effort to save the perl developers the pain of having
to go in and modify a bunch of their SQL to call out to seq.currval, I
thought I would attempt to mimic this function.
Perhaps there is another way to approach this than writing this type of
function?
Thanks!
Beth
