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;
I take it this is just an example, because you could do this with DEFAULTs on both columns.
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');
SELECT currval('public.test_azon_seq'); And yes, it will cope with multiple concurrent connections inserting. -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
