Hi:
    I am a software engineer from GE. I am using JDBC to operate PostgreSQL8.3 in Ubuntu8.04. The develop environment is Eclipse3.2 My problem is:
    There is a PostgreSQL table XX containing 5 fields: AA, BB, CC, DD, EE, AA is primary key and auto-generated type, BB, CC, DD and EE is string type.
    I want to get the value of AA immediately after insert a row into the table. the code is like this:
 
    Statement st = db.creatStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);
    ResultSet rs=st.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM XX");
    rs.moveToInsertRow();
    rs.updateString(BB, "b");
    rs.updateString(CC, "c");
    rs.updateString(DD, "d");
    rs.updateString(EE, "e");
    rs.insertRow();
    rs.moveToCurrentRow();
    int index = rs.getInt("AA");
    System.out.println(index);
 
   in the last sentence I always get 0 no matter how many records I insert. I tried other ways of moving the cursor including next(), last() and so on, and also cannot get the correct value. I tried the drivers both postgresql-8.3-603.jdbc3.jar and postgresql-8.3-603.jdbc4.jar.
 
    But when I use pdadminIII to check the table XX, the AA field is already auto-generated with the correct value.
 
    I found a way to solve this: close resultset and statement after moveToCurrentRow() and re-open them, and rs.last(), then run int index=rs.getInt("AA"), I can get the correct value. I think this method is sort of awkward, anyone knows a better way and the correct operations?
 
I am not sure it is proper to send this mail to this mail list. Sorry if bring you any inconvenience.
Thanks a lot!
 
Best Regards
