you can create your table as follows:
CREATE SEQUENCE Food_Id_seq START 1;
CREATE TABLE Food (
Id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY ,
Name VARCHAR(10)
);
alter table Food ALTER ID SET DEFAULT NEXTVAL('Food_Id_seq');
when you do an insert, the ID will be set to nextVal Food_Id_Seq
insert into food (NAME) values ('apple');

Daryl,
your second example where you get the id first is the only way I know
how to do it
BTW it doesn't have to be done in a transaction. the id will not be used
by another connection.
