How about
SELECT nextval('seq'); -- ignore result
INSERT INTO ... VALUES (currval('seq'), currval('seq'));
Well, it works for my sample case, I have to agree. Maybe I should mention that I tried to boil down the bugreport to the simplest repro case I could.
My actual SQL looks roughly like
INSERT INTO destination (record_id, page, row) SELECT (SELECT record_id FROM record ORDERED BY name), (NEXTVAL('seq') / 200), (CURRVAL('seq') % 200)
While I have a workaround, I am definitely curious as to whether there is actually a way to do it. Thanks for your patience.
regards,
martin
