I am running Postgres 6.3.2 and have a question.
I have a field, called "idnum", that automagically gets assigned a value
when something is inserted. I want to know that value when I do the
insert:
$sth = $dbh->prepare("INSERT INTO foo (bar) VALUES('$bar')");
$sth->execute;
$insertid = $sth->{'idnum'};
I would think that last line should be able to retreive it from the
statment handle, but it doesn't work.
Is the only way, to do *another* select after I insert and get the data?
I would hope after doing the insert, since I have the statment handle, I
could get the value.
