Quoting a recent message by Jan Wieck <janwieck@Yahoo.com>:
:Do a
:
: GET DIAGNOSTICS SELECT PROCESSED INTO <int4_variable>;
:
:directly after an INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE statement and you'll know
:how many rows have been hit.
:
:Also you can get the OID of an inserted row with
:
: GET DIAGNOSTICS SELECT RESULT INTO <int4_variable>;
