Hi there,

Hopefully just a quick one: how is it possible to obtain a reference to
the last inserted record in a table which is created without oids? I
would like to dump/restore some of our larger tables so they don't use
oids, however I am concerned that simply getting the current PK sequence
value after insertion within a transaction is not safe when many people
are accessing the table/sequence at once? Can anyone clarify this? We're
using the latest and greatest 7.3.1.

Many thanks,

Mark.
