I have the exact same issue as Alec, below, except it's even worse: in some of my situations,
I can't even do a meaningful query to get the record I just inserted, since there is no unique key
other than the "serial" primary key obtained from the sequence...
I can think of a couple of ways to get the most recent transaction (get the value from the
sequence, or do a select id order by timestamp desc limit 1), but would have to guarantee
atomicity to get the data corresponding to the row I just inserted...I could use a transaction
just to guarantee that no records are added between my insert and my select, but that seems
like a horrendous waste (since so many databases are ready to just hand me a rowid or oid
after an insert...)
Can anybody help us out here??
