Re: Getting oid after insert

Zak,

What version are you working with? The code example below won't work
with the latest versions of the driver (either 7.3 or 7.4). In the
latest versions you cast your Statement object to a
org.postgresql.PGStatement object and call getLastOID() which returns
the oid as a long.

thanks,
--Barry
