INSERT RETURNINGThis is a featured page

Several people have asked for the ability to return values from data-modifying commands (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) -- for example, getting the newly-generated value of a sequence in an INSERT command. Some variant of this functionality is supported by some other databases.

Omar Kilani has implemented a preliminary version of this functionality, but some additional work is needed to get the patch into shape for inclusion in the tree.

Ideas to consider:
  • How does this relate to JDBC requirements for getGeneratedKeys()?
    • A reasonable answer might just be that getGeneratedKeys() is braindamaged and not worth supporting.
  • What outstanding issues are there with the patch?
