Re: INSERT INTO ... RETURNING id not behaving as expected with SQLNumResultCols

Ryan,

What language are you writing your app? What is the code you're using to
capture the returning id?

Also, are you aware that you can fire a new SELECT statement after
you're done inserting?  In scenarios where you wouldn't have much
concurrency that can be a valid approach.

And don't forget that the OID column is there for you to inspect. Ever
tried a SELECT OID FROM MyTable ORDER BY OID DESC LIMIT 1 ?

RETURNINGid to get the serial id. Problem is, SQLNumResultCols shows that there are zero columns. The statement I used
worksfine in pgadmin. This seems really basic and I am somewhat new to databases and odbc, but does anyone have a
solution?
