I was wondering if there was a reliable method to get the last id
inserted into a serial column in a table.  I believe previous
recommendations given were to use a sequence, have your app get the
nextval for the sequence and then use that in the insert.  I was
wondering if things had changed or if that is still the recommended
method.
