RE: jdbc how to get SERIAL

The function currval does this. Ie:

select currval("mycol_id_seq");

where mycol is the table and id is the column for the sequence.

Would return that value. PS: The result is for that session, so if another
session increments that sequence, you don't see that value but the last
value of _your_ session.

Subject: [INTERFACES] jdbc how to get SERIAL

How do I get the id column of a row via jdbc if the column is a SERIAL
column. I want to get the id of the row after I insert new data via
jdbc execute command.

Thanks,
John Thorhauer
