Hi all A table was created with: CREATE TABLE test ( id integer, nev varchar(25), datum timestamp );
A sequence to hold the id was defined with: CREATE SEQUENCE "public"."test_azon_seq" INCREMENT 1 MINVALUE 101 MAXVALUE 9223372036854775807 START 101 CACHE 1; The function wich allocates the id and defines the datum is: CREATE FUNCTION test_verif() RETURNS trigger AS $test_verif$ BEGIN select into NEW.id nextval('test_azon_seq'); NEW.datum := current_timestamp; RETURN NEW; END; $test_verif$ LANGUAGE plpgsql; and the before insert trigger is: CREATE TRIGGER test_verif BEFORE INSERT ON test FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE test_verif(); When I issue an insert (see below) how can I retrieve the inserted value of id? I need something like Oracle's returns for insert. insert into "public"."test" (nev) values ('text'); -- László Graf ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
