I have not tried it, but wouldn't the straight-forward cur.execute(""" WITH ins_user AS ( INSERT INTO User (LastName, FirstName, Gender, DateOfBirth, DateEnrolled) VALUES (:last_name, :first_name, :gender, :dob, now()) RETURNING UserId) INSERT INTO UserProfile (UserId, DateEntered, FaveNumber, Activity) VALUES ( (SELECT UserId FROM ins_user), now(), :fave_number :activity); """, dict( first_name="Sara", last_name="Jackson", gender="F", dob=datetime.date(1941, 1, 12), fave_number=3, activity="volleyball" )) work? > My starting point is: > > cur.execute( \ > """INSERT INTO User \ > (LastName, FirstName, Gender, DateOfBirth, DateEnrolled) \ > VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s, %s) RETURNING UserId;""", \ > (last_name, first_name, gender, date_of_birth, now(), ??...??) > > > Also, I have a second question.
