<para>
<function>pg_last_oid</function> is used to retrieve the
<varname>OID</varname> assigned to an inserted row.
</para>
<para>
OID field became an optional field from PostgreSQL 7.2 and will
not be present by default in PostgreSQL 8.1. When the
OID field is not present in a table, the programmer must use
<function>pg_result_status</function> to check for successful
insertion.
</para>
<para>
To get the value of a <literal>SERIAL</literal> field in an inserted
row, it is necessary to use the PostgreSQL <literal>CURRVAL</literal>
function, naming the sequence whose last value is required. If the
name of the sequence is unknown, the <literal>pg_get_serial_sequence</literal>
PostgreSQL 8.0 function is necessary.
</para>
<para>
PostgreSQL 8.1 has a function <literal>LASTVAL</literal> that returns
the value of the most recently used sequence in the session. This avoids
the need for naming the sequence, table or column altogether.
</para>
<note>
<para>
This function used to be called <function>pg_getlastoid</function>.
