Get table ID after insert with ColdFusion and MySQL

Question

My normal process for inserting into one table and then getting the ID back so that I can insert into another table is like this in MSSQL:

DECLARE @transacti         


        

Answer 1

The getGeneratedKey function at cflib.org can be used with most databases:

Example:

    insert into artists (firstName, lastName)
    values('todd','sharp')


    select *
    from   artists


#getGeneratedKey(r)#
