Pretty much, except with the added complication that there are a dozen
or so daemons that are also updating the same tables, and up until now
they've all had autocommit on. I thought the currval had transaction
scope not connection scope, at least that's what my testing in pgsql
seemed to indicate, which is why I stated that autocommit was a
problem.
Are you saying that if in one connection I do a nextval and commit,
and somebody else in a different connection does a hundred nextvals
and commits, then 20 minutes later I do the currval I'll get the one
from my old transaction?
