Getting Asset Name and ID using postgreSQL command line

Question

Hi,
I`m excited by the possibility of getting/putting Annotations from/to FCSvr from command:
/Library/Application\ Support/Final\ Cut\ Server/Final\ Cut\ Server.bundle/Contents/Resources/sbin/fcsvr_run psql px pxdb -c "select * from pxtcmdvalue;"
Using grep and awk (print) it`s possible to extract individual fields. But first I need to identify
Assets Names with Assets ID`s.
Anyone know how to get from command line an asset name from ID and vice versa?
In other words: If I grep for the ID and awk for the 3, 4, and 5 column I can extract TCIN, TCOUT and the Annotations from that Asset ID. But I want to know what Asset is and write to a text file with the asset name and not the asset ID.
The syntax would be more or less like this:
For each ID on the pxtcmdvalue (first column is entityID) get from FCSvr (or from db) the AssetName the columns with TCIN, TCOUT and Value of Annotations. Put (append if more than one entries) this on a tabulated text file named after AssetName.
I`m sorry for not being so "program write" like, but I try! ahaah
Thanks!

Hey guys,
Thank you very much for all this help! Especially fbm! Thanks a lot!
Regarding inserting into annotation I could manage to do that , as I`ve said, I`m stubborn! hehehehe
with this command you can insert an annotation (ONE with each command) into a clip:
/Library/Application\ Support/Final\ Cut\ Server/Final\ Cut\ Server.bundle/Contents/Resources/sbin/fcsvr_run psql px pxdb -c "INSERT INTO pxtcmdvalue VALUES (72, 1527, '00:35:41;09/(30000,1001)', '00:36:28;24/(30000,1001)', 'if works I`ll be very happy!', 1, '2009-03-15 19:31:15.839795-03');"
Of course, remembering to change all things inside single quotes.
The only catch is that you`ll have to know the entityid for the asset in question. Of course, looking into fbm post above it`s possible to "translate" the entityid into the ASSETID, but I don`t know how to parse this inside the parentheses. Maybe letting the "72" (in my case) entityid as "entityid" and outside the parentheses translating with INNER JOIN???
We`re almost there!! I`m glad that this is here, opened to every one that wants to adventure into FCSRV "dark" side!
Just remember, this is NOT supported by APPLE! I`m testing this on a test FCSRV installed on a mini (yes I could "hack" into the "detecting hardware" and disable to manage to install).
Just one more thing: I`ve read somewhere that the pxatommap table has ALL that FCSRV could provide (and of course yours custom md). I`m trying to get ALL this fields to each asset. I`ve tried the command:
/Library/Application\ Support/Final\ Cut\ Server/Final\ Cut\ Server.bundle/Contents/Resources/sbin/fcsvr_run psql px pxdb -c "SELECT * FROM pxatommap INNER JOIN pxmdvalue ON pxatommap.id = pxmdvalue.fieldid"
But it`s very messy and it`s not for one asset.
Thanks again you all that took the time to post to help others like me!
Regards!
