You would recognise the following as a pretty typical
SQL insert query with an extra line unlocking a powerful feature.
INSERT INTO some_table(name, address, description) VALUES ("john", "location", "some description") RETURNING *
RETURNING * allows you to easily view the data of the inserted row as a result of the insert query. This is especially useful for viewing the data in auto-generated columns or data which has been mutated by INSERT TRIGGERS.
RETURNING * you can now access the inserted, updated or deleted row's values. This is especially useful for chaining SQL querys or showing the value of the affected rows data.
WITH inserted_row AS ( INSERT INTO some_table(name, address, description) VALUES ("john", "location", "some description") RETURNING * ) SELECT * FROM inserted_row
This is especially useful if you wanted to use the generated autoincremented value in a follow up query.
You can specify only the columns you want in the following format
RETURNING column_1, column_2, column_3 etc
