Re: get last oid

Hi Ricky,

There is a work around for this...

1. Create a LOCAL TEMPORARY table.
2. On the MAIN table, put a trigger to store NEW.oid in that TEMPORARY
table.
3. On your VB application, Fetch OID from that TEMP table.

Since, the local temporary table's data is visible to specific to session,
each session will get their OID even if "n" numbers of users are inserting
data in that table at a time..

HTH

Thanx

Denis
