RE: [GENERAL] using Oids to retrieve a row

I use the following technique:
add sequence to the primary key of the table
look up the sequence the primary key
insert a record using (including) the primary key
re-query the newly inserted record using the primary key

Thanks, Michael

anyone know if it is possible to INSERT a row , "save" the oid for
this
row and subsequently select it based only on the oid ?
