Getting the Last Insert ID with SQLite.NET in C#

Question

I have a simple problem with a not so simple solution... I am currently inserting some data into a database like this:

kompenzacijeDataSet.KompenzacijeRow kom         


        

Answer 1

I'm using Microsoft.Data.Sqlite package and I do not see a LastInsertRowId property. But you don't have to create a second trip to database to get the last id. Instead, combine both sql statements into a single string.

        string sql = "insert into MyTable values (null, @name);  select last_insert_rowid();";
        using (var cmd = conn.CreateCommand()) {
            cmd.CommandText = sql;
            cmd.Parameters.Add("@name", SqliteType.Text).Value = "John";
            int lastId = Convert.ToInt32(cmd.ExecuteScalar());
        }
