Hello dear list,
I would appreciate some help on a small matter that has been bothering me for a long time :


CREATE TABLE test_insert_returning( 
gid SERIAL
,some_value int 
);
WITH serie AS (
select s, s*10 as computing
from generate_series(1,10) as s 
)
INSERT INTO test_insert_returning (some_value)
SELECT computing
FROM serie
RETURNING gid, serie.s

doesn't work.

The only workaround I found was to create a plpgsql function that doesan idnividual insert
so that :
WITH serie AS (
select s, s*10 as computing
from generate_series(1,10) as s 
)
SELECT serie.s, my_inserting_function(computing)
FROM serie ;

But it is very annoying and potentially bad for performance because many insert may be fired.

Any solution?
(postgres 9.3)
Cheers,
Rémi-C
