generatedKey in Postgres

dev support
1

I have an app that runs fine with Lucee & MariaDB but I need it to run with PostgreSQL also. The current issue is when inserting records into the DB the generatedKey field is coming back with the ID and all of the inserted values.

Example:

INSERT INTO table ( username ) VALUES ( 'bsmith' );
generatedKey = "3,bsmith"

Don’t forget to tell us about your stack!

if u can use sql-dialect for postgres u can use:
RETURNING

<cfquery name="q">
INSERT INTO table ( username ) VALUES ( 'bsmith' )
RETURNING id
</cfquery>

last id is in #q.id# var
