getting an int id from an inserted record

Hello,
I would like do an insert into a table. The table has an auto
incrimenting unique int id. After I do the insert how do i get the
unique int id of the record that I just inserted? Is there a straight
forward way of accomplishing this?

Thanks,
Billy

In SQL2000 use SCOPE_IDENTITY( ).

In SQL7.0 use @@IDENTITY.

See Books Online for details.

Assuming that you're using MSSQL2000, then you can use the
SCOPE_IDENTITY( ) function.

Use the @@IDENTITY command. For eg.

declare temp int
insert into sometable .....
set temp = @@IDENTITY

Hi,
If you want to manually insert a value into the auto
incrementing id of the table set IDENTITY_INSERT to ON for the table
and then use the INSERT statement else simply supply the values to be
inserted without the autoid column in an INSERT statement. To retrieve
the newly inserted ID use @@identity or scope_identity( )

JK
