For insertion, AbstractPersistenceManager first inserts data with "INSERT INTO … RETURNING table.ID;", returns the generated
<ID> and then queries the same row using <ID> with "SELECT * FROM table WHERE table.ID = <ID>;".
This requests merges these two operations into one single operation: "INSERT INTO … RETURNING table.*;" Hereby data is inserted, altered by rules or before-triggers (not after-triggers!), should there be any, and then immediately returned. It eliminates the need for another SELECT statement.
(Background: For the default implementation of FROST, this is not noticeable. However when trying to extend the database with TimescaleDB, this small detail speeds up writes significantly.)
