worst performance-related tip ever. That one selects the entire table, fetches it back and discards all records but the last. db.table.insert(whatever='something') is the best performance-wise, and the only method to retrieve efficiently the last inserted id. db.table[0] = dict(whatever='something') does the exact same thing (sql-wise) .... how can it return the last inserted id is kinda a non-question: given that you can't do any assignment to any variable, where should you put the hypothetical returned id ? -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
