Hi guys,
i need to script some insert statements. To simplify it a little bit so
assume i got a
table "User" and a table called "Article". Both tables have an serial id
column. In "Articles" there is a column i need to fill with the user id
lets call it "create_user_id".
I want to do something like:
Insert into User (name) values ('User1');
Insert into Article ('create_user_id') values (1);
Insert into Article ('create_user_id') values (1);
Insert into User (name) values ('User2');
Insert into Article ('create_user_id') values (2);
Insert into Article ('create_user_id') values (2);
So you see i have set it to 1 and 2 this not good cause it might not be
1 and 2.
I probably need the id returned by the "insert into User" query to use
it for the "insert into Article" query.
