Re: how to insert multiple rows and get the ids back in a temp table (pgplsql)?

No I do need it inside pgplsql. I need pgplsql for other stuff.

You can do that for multiple rows just fine, you don't even need plpgsql for
that:

development=> \d test
Table "public.test"
Column | Type | Modifiers
--------+---------+-----------
i | integer |

development=> INSERT INTO test (i) select x from generate_series(4, 10) t(x) ret
urning i;
i
----
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
(7 rows)

INSERT 0 7
