At the end of the day we came up with the following solution:
strcpy(host_struct.name, "Sigrid");
EXEC SQL select nextval('lina_lid_seq') into :host_struct.ser;
EXEC SQL INSERT INTO lina VALUES ( :host_struct );
which seems to work fine. Any comments about side effects?
The layout of the table 'lina' is ( serial lid, varchar name )
Thanks,
