Hi List

I try to get the 'nextval' of a sequence:
***
String query = "SELECT nextval('nodes_nodeid_seq')";
pstmt = conn.prepareStatement(query);
logger.debug("statement: " + pstmt.toString());
ResultSet ress = pstmt.executeQuery();
long newID = ress.getLong("nextval"); // <-- Exception
***

I get the following Exception:
***
org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ResultSet not positioned properly,
perhaps you need to call next.

****

executing the query in PostgresSQL directly works, I get the correct
return value.
The Query itself seems to be executet, as I get other exceptions if I
misspell the columnname (e.g.).
I'm working with Postgres-jdbc: pg80b1-1.308.jdbc3.jar and JDK 1.5.0

someone an Idea?

wishing all a Happy new Year
Daniel
