AutoNumbers and INSERTS
Hi, I'm inserting a load of data into a Table of an Access Database. The ID field is generated by AutoNumber. As soon as the record has been inserted, I need to output what that ID was. How can I do this?

Re: AutoNumbers and INSERTS
Hi Will, There are two real possibilities: 1) stick with autonumbering. Wrap your insert and a SELECT Max(ID) inside a single CFTRANSACTION. Vaguely ugly. 2) Create your own Primary Key. 2a) Create your own incremental ID from a separate table. Needs CFTANSACTION. 2b) Create an incremental key by first selecting the current Max ID. (see the FuseBox tag MaxID for this) Needs CFTRANSACTION. 2c) Create your own random key. Use CF's built-in uuid function, or make your own with randrange, dates, etc, in combination. Excellent if you deal with several replicas which are merged from time to time. Personally, I use CF_MaxID and CFTRANSACTION.

this is one way... there are many others... cftransaction (first query) cfquery name="getmax" datasource="#session.dsn#" SELET max (id_column_name) as maxid FROM tablename /cfquery /cftransaction -- Mark Warrick Phone: (714) 547-5386 Efax.com Fax: (801) 730-7289 Personal Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Personal URL: http://www.warrick.net Business Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Business URL: http://www.fusioneers.com ICQ: 346566 -- -Original Message- From: W Luke [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, September 29, 2000 5:00 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: AutoNumbers and INSERTS Hi, I'm inserting a load of data into a Table of an Access Database.
