smarlowe=# create table test (a serial primary key, b text);
NOTICE: CREATE TABLE will create implicit sequence "test_a_seq" for
serial column "test.a"
NOTICE: CREATE TABLE / PRIMARY KEY will create implicit index
"test_pkey" for table "test"
CREATE TABLE
smarlowe=# insert into test (a,b) values (DEFAULT,'test') returning a;
a
---
1
(1 row)
INSERT 0 1
Note that there are other ways of doing it, but I really like the
