I think what you want to do is use a transaction (BEGIN), insert the
data into table c RETURNING id, then insert the data into table p
using the id returned from the first query. If there were no errors,
COMMIT the transaction, otherwise ROLLBACK. It's two queries, but
because of the transaction, it's happening atomically within the
database.

Cheers,
