Question

Im using Qt 4.8.3 and the MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver. The driver does not seem to support LastInsertId which I test like this:

db.driver()->hasFeature(QSqlDriver::LastInsertId)

I need it to find the auto increment id I just inserted

query.exec("INSERT INTO myTable (MyVal, Created) VALUES ('1', NOW())");
auto insertId = query.lastInsertId().toString();

What is the best workaround?

EDIT: there will be concurrent access to this table from multiple clients.

Answer 1

According to MySQL documentation, you can call:

SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID();

after the insert query to get the latest id inserted for the current connection, even when using ODBC.
