By the way, if you do everything in sql, you should use "SELECT
scope_identity()" instead of "SELECT @@identity". The reason being that if
your insert calls a trigger on that table that in turns inserts a row in
another table, scope_identity() would return the id of the new row you
explicitly inserted, while @@identity would return the id of the row
inserted by the trigger.
