Hi list peeps....
In many of my projects I have the need to insert a new record into a
table and then later on in the script update this record, Right now
I am doing this by doing the insert, then immediately doing a Select
to return the latest id (unique id) which I store later for my
update.
Is there any way I can do an insert and have it return the unique
auto-assigned id?
If you mean, can you have the insert statement itself return the ID,
no. Insert statements don't return records.
