Subject: Retrieving the new "nextval" for primary keys....
Date: Fri, 23 Aug 2002 18:15:28 -0700
Message-ID: <ak6lse$a9a$1@news.hub.org> (raw)
I am using postgreSQL with Perl::CGI and Perl::DBI::Pg... I would like to be
able to insert a row from my Perl script [$SQL->exec();] and have postgreSQL
return the id of the newly inserted record (new.id) directly to the Perl
script for further processing... Anyone with a solution / idea ???
Nearly EVERY table I create in postgreSQL (7.2) has the following minimum
structure:
create table "tblName" (
id int4 primary key nextval ("tblName_id_seq"),
..field...
..field...
..field...
create_dt date default 'CURRENT_DATE',
change_dt timestamptz default 'now()',
active_flag bool default 'TRUE'
)
