Get the last insert id with doctrine 2?

Question

How can I get the last insert id with doctrine 2 ORM? I didn\'t find this in the documentation of doctrine, is this even possible?

Answer 1

Calling flush() can potentially add lots of new entities, so there isnt really the notion of "lastInsertId". However Doctrine will populate the identity fields whenever one is generated, so accessing the id field after calling flush will always contain the ID of a newly "persisted" entity.
