insert into table1 (f1, f2) values ('a', 'b');
select currval('table1_seq');
Use the name of your sequence. If the primary key is a SERIAL type, then there will be a sequence in the background. I believe it's tablename_seq or something like that.

Hello everybody,
Does anyone know an easy way to insert a record (without a value for the primary key because it is a sequence) and at the same time obtain the value of primary key that was assign to this new record.
I always try insert and then select with the same values that I used for the insert, but I believe this is not a good way to do it.
Any suggestions???
