Fetch Identity value of record just added. Published by: neilrh on 13 Jun 2014 view comments(2)

We know that we can access the Identity value using: values IDENTITY_VAL_LOCAL() into :IdentVal. This needs to be performed immediately following the Insert into....

But there is an alternative:

select Identity into :IdentVal from final table (insert into TABLE (field1, .......) Values (:Data, ......))

Obviously need to check sqlcode/sqlstate for success, but the entire insert and tell me what the value of the Identity field was is performed in a single sql action.
