Re: Isolating that alpha incrementing

Hi Rob,


- autoincrementing fields 


Does that mean that you know how to get knowledge of the key just
given for an INSERT into a DB with such a thing (V5R2, embedded SQL)?

(Without the "solution" to use a timestamp to read this record to get
knowledge of the key.)

Please tell, thanks in advance!


I don't know how the iSeries does it, but MySQL also supports autoincrementing fields. The way to get at the key used is with mysql_insert_id(). See the docs on that:
