Hi, Is there any way to define a SQL stored function that inserts a row in a table and returns the serial generated?
CREATE TABLE matchmaking_session ( session_id bigint NOT NULL DEFAULT nextval('seq_matchmaking_session_id'), ... ); CREATE FUNCTION create_matchmaking_sesssion(...) RETURNS bigint AS $$ INSERT INTO matchmaking_session(...) VALUES (...) RETURNING session_id; $$ LANGUAGE SQL; 2008-01-10 22:08:48 EST ERROR: return type mismatch in function declared to return bigint 2008-01-10 22:08:48 EST DETAIL: Function's final statement must be a SELECT. 2008-01-10 22:08:48 EST CONTEXT: SQL function "create_matchmaking_sesssion" I can easily convert this code into a PL/pgSQL function, but I'm thinking that pure SQL is more natural (and faster?) for such a stored function.
