Re: Re: any way for a transaction to "see" inserts done earlier in the transaction?

Except for the fact that I get the new id returned from the first insert, which means that the insert probably did happen.

Not likely, or if it did it wouldn’t be able to know what id was returned from the function (which calls nextval(), but that isn’t relevant here since it’s marked volatile).
That makes it a possible scenario for what’s being witnessed here.
