  • 0

I am using a stored procedure to insert data into a database, when it is inserted it is automatically given a ID that is an identity, it also the Primary Key of the table. I also need to insert data into a second table of which that ID is one of the columns that needs to be inserted. But it the ID hasnt been created yet, so I was wondering how would you guys go about solving this problem. I need it so when they submit my form that it inserts the user, and then I need to add it to a table that basically will document that user being created. Is this possible.? I am using Microsoft SQL Server 2005.

Thanks

    INSERT INTO Table1 (SomeColumn) Values ('SomeValue')

DECLARE @NewIdent int
SELECT @NewIdent = SCOPE_IDENTITY()

INSERT INTO Table2 (SomeColumn, T1ID) VALUES ('SomeValue',@NewIDent)

    You can look at what @@IDENTITY, SCOPE_IDENTITY(), and IDENT_CURRENT to see which one will fit your needs best. I suspect SCOPE_IDENTITY will do the job.

    Here is a good article on what they all do.
