Seral field value after INSERT !

Hi all !

I have been inserting records into a table using the SQL insert statement.
One of the field types is serial, and I have been
trying to figure out how to get the value that was assigned in the field as
a result of the insert. The serial typed field is the only one guaranteed
to be unique, so I can't really do a search, and there are several people
adding data at once, so I can't reliable guess. Can anyone help?

Thanks for all help !

ps : Sorry my bad english.
