Body
Im working with Postgres, using <code>SERIAL</code> as my primary key. After I insert a row I can get the generated key either by using '<code>RETURNING</code>' or <code>CURRVAL()</code>. Now my problem is that I want to do a batch insert inside a transaction and get ALL the generated keys. All I get with <code>RETURNING</code> and <code>CURRVAL</code> is the last generated id, the rest of the result get discarded. How can I get it to return all of them? Thanks

1. COsomething like this: INSERT INTO AutoKeyEntity (Name,Description,EntityKey) VALUES ('AutoKey 254e3c64-485e-42a4-b1cf-d2e1e629df6a','Testing 5/4/2011 8:59:43 AM',DEFAULT) returning EntityKey ; INSERT INTO AutoKeyEntityListed (EntityKey,Listed,ItemIndex) VALUES (CURRVAL('autokeyentity_entityKey_seq'),'Test 1 AutoKey 254e3c64-485e-42a4-b1cf-d2e1e629df6a', 0) , (CURRVAL('autokeyentity_entityKey_seq'),'Test 2 AutoKey 254e3c64-485e-42a4-b1cf-d2e1e629df6a', 1) , (CURRVAL('autokeyentity_entityKey_seq'),'Test 3 AutoKey 254e3c64-485e-42a4-b1cf-d2e1e629df6a', 2) ;

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
