The postgres version is: function db_last_insert_id($table, $field) { return db_result(db_query("SELECT CURRVAL('{". db_escape_table ($table) ."}_". db_escape_table($field) ."_seq')")); } Joe On Nov 4, 2009, at 7:07 PM, Jeff Greenberg wrote:

I'm confused with the db_last_insert_id function in database.mysql- common.inc.

The function is:

function db_last_insert_id($table, $field) { return db_result(db_query('SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID()')); }

and I see no reason whatsoever for there to be any parameters, let alone required ones.

Not for MySQL, but that function needs to be the same for the other databases. Look at database.pgsql.inc: function db_last_insert_id($table, $field) { return db_result(db_query("SELECT CURRVAL('{". db_escape_table($table) ."}_". db_escape_table($field) ."_seq')")); } Jamie Holly http://www.intoxination.net http://www.hollyit.net Jeff Greenberg wrote:
