Re: How do I select the last Id in a column???

I did, and the second transaction wouldn't even complete the insert until
the first transaction commit'd or rollback'd.  I created two new tables and
tried on there and it produced the expected behaviour, but several of my
existing tables do not.

I changed my code to use currval from now on, just to play it safe :-)
