-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
Im building an user database with many tables keeping the data for the Address, Phone numbers, etc which are referenced by a table where I keep the single users. My question is, how do I get the "Id"-value of a newly inserted address to store it in the referencing user table: (a) INSERT INTO address VALUES (....); (b) INSERT INTO users VALUES ( name, ... , address , ... ); where address should hold the value of the Id from the Adress table. Do have to do an SELECT id FROM address WHERE oid = oid_returned_by_insert(a) or something like that after doing the insert(a) to get the correct id value, or is there a better way to do this. Im writing my app in Perl with DBD/DBI Thanks in advance, Andreas Fromm -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE/rhcdPkvkZVZzNY0RApmDAJ4k4MY/zKvH2862MuHSIjDtsmIs3QCfRzaR 0zDc1bIQAOMpLurvRZ2V8JY= =kgaA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
