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 ?

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