do this

select nextval('table_id_seq');

before you insert, and insert the value that gives.

this solves your other problem (use of DEFAULT) too, (or is that the
same problem)


another option is to use 'RETURNING id' when you insert

 INSERT
   INTO "mytable" ( "thatcolumn" )
   VALUES ( 'whatever' )
   RETURNING "id";

this needs PG >= 8.2
