And it's exact value, that Rony needs.

It all depends on your needs :)
To save data integrity, you have at least three basic solutions:
a) put all queries into transaction. If someting fails in next
step, first insert will be canceled,
b) write a stored procedure (containing all necessary queries)
in a database side, and call this proc in your application,
c) create trigger on table - if your second query doesn't need
extra parameters coming from application.

Samples for a) and b) are in the documentation / examples in postgres
package. You have to choose a procedural language first (PHP is available).
