Hi all. Quick and perhaps silly question, but...
I am using Pg 7.3. I am writing a function using pgplsql. This function will
perform multiple inserts. Let's say two of the inserts are as follows:
-- id is primary key
insert into users (id, username) values (nextval('someSeq'),'somename');
-- id is also a PK
insert into log (id, uid, message) values (nextval('someOtherSeq'),XXX,'New
Account');
Assume XXX is the id from the first insert. How do I get that number? Not
currval('someSeq') - 'cause someone else may have performed an insert - but
the id for that specific insert.
Thanks,
HG

Nop,
If the insert and later on
currval('someSeq') is called inside the same function
currval will only return the current value that has been effected by the
first insert made.
