No, cftransaction is what you want to use. One way to solve your problem
would be:
<cftransaction action=""> <cfquery ....>
INSERT ....
</cfquery>
<cfquery ....>
SELECT MAX(id)
FROM foo
</cfquery>
</cftransaction>
However there are also other "more elegant" ways of solving this problem as
well. You could write a stored proc that does the insert and returns the
value for you. Also, and I could be wrong on this, I *think* that JDBC has a
way of returning the row id just inserted, so you may want to look in to
that as well. Again, I could be way off on that, but I could swear I read
that somewhere.
