[JDBC] JDBC changes for 7.2... some questions...

Folks-

  I'm looking into some modifications for the Castor project on how we get
identies from inserted objects into the database.  Specifically, if we have
used the SERIAL type to link in a sequence number during row insertion, it would
be great to get that sequence number when we do the insert.  Both Oracle and
mssql have something to provide this.  Getting the OID would be second-best
solution for us.

  Now, I understand that in the Statement class, we have getInsertedOID() in the
table.  However, the problem we run into is that this isn't accessiable if we
use something like poolman to provide database pooling of connections.  (You 
get the poolMan Statement object which is wraps the Statement classes of the
driver.)  

  So, what I'm looking for is some of the following ways to get the primary key
back, or the OID if nothing else...

  1) Being able to use the RETURNING clause in prepared statements, like this 
 INSERT INTO tableName (key1,...) 
   VALUES (value1,...)
   RETURNING primKeyName INTO ?
 Which is what Oracle provides.

  2) Working like Sybase and call select @@OID on the next call, which would
 be trapped by the statment object to return a resultset with the oid of
 the last inserted oid.

  3) or, someother way that where one doesn't need direct access to method
 calls to get 'getInsertedOID()', but indirect ones.

Thoughts?

INSERT ... RETURNING was discussed recently, and I think people agreed
it's a good idea, but it got hung up on some unresolved issues about how
it should interact with ON INSERT rules for views.  Search the pghackers
mailing list archives for details.  At this point I think it's probably
too late to consider it for 7.2, but I'm still open to doing it in 7.3
if we can come up with a bulletproof spec.

What about the 'select @@last_oid' to make the getInsertedOID() call available
even when the driver is wrapped by a pooling manager?

How do people feel about this?  (I would be happy to contribute to the codebase
for this one.)  I understand the RETURNING clause is more work... and I would
like to help out on that for 7.3.

Ugh... a quick search shows me asking this same thing in May, when the 'big
TODO' list was being commented on.  Now that I remember, I thought that the
RETURNING clause was being implemented.  I didn't realize there wasn't
agreement on it.

I need to pay more attention to what I write. :-)

Yech.  At least, not with *that* syntax.  @@ is a valid operator name
in Postgres.

Ok, so you're not opposed to the idea then, just the syntax.  Does anyone
oppose having this concept in the JDBC driver?  And what syntax is acceptable?
Could we just do 
'select getInsertedOID()'
which would break people who have functions called getInsertedOID() of course...
