Re: Returning generated id after a transaction.

Hi Bartek,

I'm currently using version 9.1.3 on windows but it will be used on a
fedora server afterwards if it changes anything.
I'm not sure I know the difference between anonymous block and ad hoc
query, but it's just a block I wrote in an admin page for a php based
website. It works well without the BEGIN and COMMIT and gives me back the
id but as soon as I add the transaction part I can't retrieve it.

Should I try in a function or stored procedure, I thought i'd start with
the simplier version first to debug because it has a lot of parameters.

Thank you for your time,
Guillaume
