[QGIS-Developer] [REGRESSION] Error inserting in a PostGIS view

[Matthias Kuhn 🌍]

Hi Paolo,

QGIS 2.18 expects a view to return the newly created row including
values generated server side. This way the primary key of a newly
created feature can directly be used (e.g. to set the foreign key of
another feature).

So, this is definitely a feature and not a bug ;)

What you can do

 - Update the views to RETURN the new record ([1])

 - Find a way to determine if a view/table returns something, so we can
    conditionally only request this when it really is available

 - Propose a different approach / better solution

Sorry for the inconvenience
Matthias
