Yes, but then we are back to the original question of how to get that last ID from the DB so the code can use it.
To be completely safe, there are two alternatives: 1) Use a trigger on the table to perform an "autoincrement" operation with the sequence. Wrap the INSERT and the subsequent SELECT MAX(someID) in a cftransaction, with an isolation level of serializable. This last bit is important. 2) Get the value from the sequence first and then do the insert, remembering the value that was obtained from the sequence. This can be done in a stored procedure or in CF code.
