List,
a friend of mine has run into another problem while porting his php website
to Firebird:
He need to know the new pk(generator) value right after an insert. I told
him to use a stored procedure. He said it's to complicated to create and
maintain a SP for every table. Then I told him to use select
gen_id(gen_name, 0) from rdb$database and he said this works but it would be
even nicer if there would be something like the returning clause from
Oracle(insert into t (seq_id) values (foo_seq.nextval()) returning seq_id)!
So my question is: Are these the two possibilites to solve this problem? Are
there any plans to support anything like returning in Firebird?
