From the Programmers' Guide (PL/pgSQL section):
23.5.5. Obtaining result status GET DIAGNOSTICS variable = item [ , ... ] ; This command allows retrieval
ofsystem status indicators. Each item is a keyword identifying a state value to be assigned to the specified
variable(which should be of the right data type to receive it). The currently available status items are ROW_COUNT,
the number of rows processed by the last SQL query sent down to the SQL engine; and RESULT_OID, the Oid of the last
rowinserted by the most recent SQL query. Note that RESULT_OID is only useful after an INSERT query.
