title: Get RETURNING value from Postgresql via Java
body: <p>From Java, I'm calling a prepared statement in Postgresql with an insert that has a RETURNING clause for my identity column.  In PG admin it comes right back, but not sure how to get it from my prepared statement:</p>
  
  <pre><code>        String insertStatement = "INSERT INTO person(\n" +
                  "            name, address, phone, customer_type, \n" +
                  "            start_dtm)\n" +
                  "    VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, \n" +
                  "            ?)\n" +
                  "    RETURNING person_id;";
  
  
          PreparedStatement stmt = connection.prepareStatement(insertStatement);
  
          stmt.setObject(1, perToSave.getName(null));
          stmt.setObject(2, editToSave.getAddress());
          stmt.setObject(3, editToSave.getPhone());
          stmt.setObject(4, editToSave.getCustType());
          long epochTime = java.lang.System.currentTimeMillis();
          stmt.setObject(5, new java.sql.Date(epochTime));
  
          stmt.executeUpdate();
  </code></pre>
