Hi to all,

I've written a small application first based on Informix and trying to
implement now support for PostgreSQL. I was mostly successful, but there is
still one problem left.
I'm using 'ecpg' to develop my application, because it's mostly compatible
to Informix's 'esqlc'. However. I have a table with a field of type
'serial'. Now I've no problem to insert any sentences into this table, but
immediately after inserting a new sentence I need the newly assigned number
to the serial field in the table. How can I access this number?
With Informix I got this number in a field of structure 'sqlca'. With
PostgreSQL the same field in this structure exists but contains always 0,
as documented.
