So I'm not a libpq programmer. I would guess that you might have access to
the OID of the row and you could SELECT the id using that. Here's another
thought, define a function something like this:
CREATE FUNCTION foo(VARCHAR) RETURNS INTEGER AS '
DECLARE
N ALIAS FOR $1;
I INTEGER;
BEGIN
-- maybe you have to select the value into the int
I := nextval(''''idseq'''');
INSERT INTO ....
RETURN I;
END;
' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' WITH (isstrict);
Also, there is a datatype named 'name'. You'll be happier if you rename
your "name" column to something else like "username".
