Hi, 

I'm thrilled to see that there is some kind of discussion running in the
C area on the exact equivalent of my very recent JDBC problem. 
I insert a row into a table where one field is a SERIAL. This SERIAL, of
course, is automatically assigned by PostgreSQL. How do I get this
number immeadiately after inserting the row? When I issue the command
with psql I get back some kind of number which presumably is the OID.
Getting just this one would be fine too because I need it for
referencing. 

Any hints are greatly appreciated. 

TIA and cheers, 

Chris
