[cfaussie] RE: Identifying the record you have just created

[Patrick Branley]

Hi Tom   There are a number of ways of doing this and some people would probably tell you to use UUID ‘s instead of an incremental number. But that’s another story….   In SQLServer  you can do this   <cftransaction>             <cfquery name=”qryinsert”>             Insert into myTable (attrib1,attrib2,attrib3) values (#val1#,#val2,#val3#)             Select @@identity as newID             </cfquery> <cftransaction>             <cfoutput>#qryinsert.newID#</cfoutput>   In MSAccess and other db’s….   <cftransaction>             <cfquery name=”qryinsert”>             Insert into myTable (attrib1,attrib2,attrib3) values (#val1#,#val2,#val3#)             </cfquery>               <cfquery name=”qrySelect”>                         Select max(attrib1) as new ID From myTable             </cfquery> <cftransaction>             <cfoutput>#qrySelect.newID#</cfoutput>   Hope this helps.   Pat       From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom MacKean Sent: Thursday, 29 July 2004 2:52 PM To: CFAussie Mailing List Subject: [cfaussie] Identifying the record you have just created   Hi all, I have a form that passes data to an INSERT INTO action page. That page creates a new record with an incremented ID number (primary key). Is there a way to find out what that ID number is so that it can be used for another query on the same page? I have a bodgy workaround whereby I set a value in a special field to true, then cflocation to another page that searches for that true value and picks up the ID number from the record. Then I set the record to false once I have the number. There has to be a better way.
