Re: SERIAL values

SELECT currval('Table_SerialField_SEQ');

Note: This selects the last value of the sequence defined by your SERIAL
sequence, not necessarily the value in your INSERT. For example:

1. User A INSERTs.
2. User B INSERTs.
3. User A performs SELECT currval, which returns the value for User B's
INSERT.

If this could be a potential problem, I recommend peforming a:

SELECT nextval('Table_SerialField_SEQ');

*before* you perform the INSERT, and explicitly using that value.
