If figured it out in the end. It was actually a Postgres question:
INSERT INTO URL
(val_ProtocolID, Url, Name, Summary, Description, Created)
VALUES
(
<dtml-sqlvar protocol_id type=int>,
<dtml-sqlvar url_part type=nb>,
<dtml-sqlvar url_name type=nb>,
<dtml-sqlvar url_summary type=nb>,
<dtml-sqlvar url_description type=nb>,
now()
)
<dtml-var sql_delimiter>
SELECT id as url_id
FROM URL
WHERE id = currval('url_id_seq')
Ciao!
