identity from sql insert via jdbctemplate

Question

Is it possible to get the @@identity from the SQL insert on a Spring jdbc template call? If so, how?

Answer 1

How about SimpleJdbcInsert.executeAndReturnKey? It takes two forms, depending on the input:

(1) The input is a Map

public java.lang.Number executeAndReturnKey(java.util.Map args)

Description copied from interface: SimpleJdbcInsertOperations

Execute the insert using the values passed in and return the generated key. This requires that the name of the columns with auto generated keys have been specified. This method will always return a KeyHolder but the caller must verify that it actually contains the generated keys.

Specified by:

executeAndReturnKey in interface SimpleJdbcInsertOperations

Parameters:

args - Map containing column names and corresponding value

Returns:

the generated key value

(2) The input is a SqlParameterSource

public java.lang.Number executeAndReturnKey(SqlParameterSourceparameterSource)

Description copied from interface: SimpleJdbcInsertOperations

Execute the insert using the values passed in and return the generated key. This requires that the name of the columns with auto generated keys have been specified. This method will always return a KeyHolder but the caller must verify that it actually contains the generated keys.

Specified by:

executeAndReturnKey in interface SimpleJdbcInsertOperations

Parameters:

parameterSource - SqlParameterSource containing values to use for insert

Returns:

the generated key value.
