Re: get last oid

... In a well designed relational Db, every table has a (unique) primary
key: if so, you don't even need to
know the oid, because the record just inserted is directly reachable using
the PK.
If your PK uses sequences, you have to get the next seq value "select
nextval() from seq_xxxxx..." and use the
value obtained for inserting your new row instead of using it as a default
value; this way you are protected from
concurrent writing to the DB.

If you REALLY need the oid from the ODBC connection, I can't help... sorry !

TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your
