  • 0

I have a table in SQLite:

CREATE TABLE 'EventType'  ( [EventTypeID] INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,  [EventTypeName] VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL UNIQUE );

Since EventTypeID is an integer and a primary key, that automatically makes it an auto-incrementing column, and that works fine.

I’d like to insert a row into the table and get the newly incremented value from VB6.

Dim oRs as Recordset dim oCmd as new Command  oCmd.ActiveConnection = GetConnection() oCmd.Source = 'insert into EventType (EventTypeName) values ('blah')' oCmd.Execute

Is there an automatic way to retrieve the newly created EventTypeID without having to issue another query (select max(EventTypeID) from EventType))?

I seem to remember from VB6 days long time ago, that there was a way to do that.

  1. Does SQLite support SCOPE_IDENTITY?

    Check out the FAQ. The sqlite3_last_insert_rowid() function will do it. Careful of triggers though

    Not tested, but you should be able to send both statements in one call. It’s been a while since I wrote any VB6. Also this is not SQL injection safe.

    Dim oRs as Recordset dim sSql as String sSql = 'INSERT INTO EventType (EventTypeName) VALUES ('blah'); SELECT last_insert_rowid() FROM EventType' oRs.Open sSql oConn
