Deprecated - Database compatibility

Hi, I was messing around w/ views and everything just basically went downhill. Here is what I got back from my host support because I wasn't able to 1. access the site and 2. access mysql.

I does look like a locked query is the problem. Here is a sample of your running processes:

e_changed, node.created AS node_create |

I am looking for a Drupal database neutral alternative to mysql_insert_id that has good performance. I looked at db_next_id but on MySQL it involves four queries and a database lock/unlock.

There were various discussions in these forums about alternatives in particular:

http://drupal.org/node/55516

But the patch proposed by chx seems to be on hold till Drupal 5 comes out.

I suppose I could code up something for my particular module for postgresql using the notes here:

How to setup multiple Site using one database in drupal, I hope developers in this forum can help us out of this mess.

I don't see a Drupal function comparable to mysql_insert_id. Obviously using the command would mean PostgreSQL wouldn't work (would it?)... so I'm curious if instead of using mysql_insert_id after an insert I should use db_next_id before the insert to store the next insert's id.

I'm part of a not-for-profit organization called Janaagraha based in Bangalore, India. We've just recently developed our website www.janaagraha.org using Drupal and hosted it on Siteground. We had outsourced the development of our Volunteer Management System to another company which developed it using core PHP. The Volunteer Management System used to work on our old website hosted on Yahoo! but has stopped working since we moved it to Siteground.
