How to get last inserted id?
8 answers
I want to get the new created ID when you insert a new record in table.
I read this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms177564.aspx but it needs to create temporary table.
I want to return the ID after executing INSERT statement (assuming executing just one INSERT).
Example:
1 Joe Joe
2 Michael Mike
3 Zoe Zoe
When executing an INSERT statement, I want to return the created ID, means 4.
Can tell me how to do that using SQL statement or it is not possible ?
Solution
If your SQL Server table has a column of type INT IDENTITY (or BIGINT IDENTITY), then you can get the latest inserted value using:
INSERT INTO dbo.YourTable(columns....)
VALUES(..........)
SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY()
This works as long as you haven’t inserted another row – it just returns the last IDENTITY value handed out in this scope here.
There are at least two more options – @@IDENTITY and IDENT_CURRENT – read more about how they works and in what way they’re different (and might give you unexpected results) in this excellent blog post by Pinal Dave here.
