Whoah there horsey - both of your last posts were unnecessary. Paul is exactly correct - the BOL does *NOT* say or advise or warn against using any method. As you will have seen from posts over the years he is a very advanced developer who offers educated and informed technological insights (just don't get him started on Unicode) - he asked a question - as did I about where BOL mentioned this oddity, I have used SQL Server for a long time and never once see or had a behaviour where I was not to use @@.
Take this case If I am running an SP which does an insert and I have a @@IDENTITY after the insert then it will ALWAYS give me the correct entry for that last run insert in that scope - i.e. the SP, not matter how many people run it at the same time. -----Original Message----- From: Mike Kear [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 18 April 2005 15:08 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Last ID inserted I already spelled it out twice, and with the quote of Michael's (who beat me to the punch there by about 4 minutes) there are the references from the BoL. A lot of people have the wrong idea about what @@IDENTITY does, and as a result are open to risk. If you can't see that in what I wrote, I dont know how you got to where you are in this business. My absolute last on this subject.
