Re: [JDBC] need help of getting PK after insertRow in JDBC

Martin,

Have you tried using the "RETURNING" function in your SQL insert statement
to immediately return the auto-generated key value? For example, how about
something like this:

String insert = " INSERT INTO \"schema_name\".\"XX\" (\"BB\", \"CC\",
\"DD\", \"EE\") VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?) RETURNING \"AA\" "

PreparedStatment ps = con.prepareStatement(insert);

ps.setString(1, "b");

ps.setString(2, "c");

ps.setString(3, "d");

ps.setString(4, "e");

ResultSet rs = ps.executeQuery();

if (rs.next()) {

int index = rs.getInt("AA");

}

Hope this helps,

Greg

Good Afternoon

add the CLOSE_CURSORS_AT_COMMIT Option to the Statements capabilities e.g.
Statement st = db.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE,
ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE.ResultSet.CLOSE_CURSORS_AT_COMMIT);

//then tell the connection handle to commit the DML to the DB
db.commit();

Hi:

I am a software engineer from GE. I am using JDBC to operate
PostgreSQL8.3 in Ubuntu8.04. The develop environment is Eclipse3.2 My
problem is:

There is a PostgreSQL table XX containing 5 fields: AA, BB, CC, DD, EE,
AA is primary key and auto-generated type, BB, CC, DD and EE is string type.

I want to get the value of AA immediately after insert a row into the
table. the code is like this:

Statement st = db.creatStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE,
ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);

ResultSet rs=st.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM XX");

rs.moveToInsertRow();

rs.updateString(BB, "b");

rs.updateString(CC, "c");

rs.updateString(DD, "d");

rs.updateString(EE, "e");

rs.insertRow();

rs.moveToCurrentRow();

int index = rs.getInt("AA");

System.out.println(index);

in the last sentence I always get 0 no matter how many records I insert.
I tried other ways of moving the cursor including next(), last() and so on,
and also cannot get the correct value. I tried the drivers both
postgresql-8.3-603.jdbc3.jar and postgresql-8.3-603.jdbc4.jar.

But when I use pdadminIII to check the table XX, the AA field is already
auto-generated with the correct value.

I found a way to solve this: close resultset and statement after
moveToCurrentRow() and re-open them, and rs.last(), then run int
index=rs.getInt("AA"), I can get the correct value. I think this method is
sort of awkward, anyone knows a better way and the correct operations?

I am not sure it is proper to send this mail to this mail list. Sorry if
bring you any inconvenience.

Thanks a lot!

Best Regards
