SQL: insert a row and return the primary key value

[rickc]

I have a MFT project that inserts data to a Postgresql table.
The table is defined with a primary key using an auto-increment column.
Example:

Code: Select all

---

CREATE TABLE tracker
(
  tracking_id serial,
  filename varchar(100),
)

The insert statement has a "returning" clause to return the value of the tracking_id field after the insert is complete:

Code: Select all

---

insert into public.tracker
(tracking_id,filename)
values (default,${tempchuScratch})
returning tracking_id;

I would like to use the trackind_id value us subsequent steps in the MFT project. How do I capture the tracking_id value?
