Re: GET LAST ID INSERT

I'm using PHP in my App, and PHP have last_oid function - using this
function I've wrote function in plpgsql to get last inserted id:

CREATE FUNCTION "public"."last_id" (bigint, varchar, varchar) RETURNS
text AS'
DECLARE
var_result RECORD;
var_query VARCHAR;
var_id TEXT;
BEGIN
var_query := ''SELECT '' || $3 ||'' AS __id FROM '' || $2 || '' WHERE
oid = '' || $1 || '';'';
IF $1 > 0 THEN
FOR var_result IN EXECUTE var_query LOOP
var_id := var_result.__id;
END LOOP;
IF var_id > 0 THEN
RETURN var_id;
ELSE
RETURN NULL;
END IF;
END IF;
END;
'LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT SECURITY
INVOKER;

Where:
Var $1 is "oid number"
Var $2 is "table_name"
Var $3 is "id_field_name"

Of course we can change this function and get table name automaticaly...
But in my case there is was need for this... But you can try.

Best wishes,
ML
