[GENERAL] getting val of serial field after insert

[Jim Archer]

Hi All...

I have been inserting records into a table using the SQL insert statement 
via the perl5 Pg module. One of the field types is serial, and I have been 
trying to figure out how to get the value that was assigned in the field as 
a result of the insert. The serial typed field is the only one guaranteed 
to be unique, so I can't really do a search, and there are several people 
adding data at once, so I can't reliable guess. Can anyone help?

Thanks VERY much!!!

Jim
