Question

I’ve got the following table in MySql:
Contact:

• Id
• Name
• FirstName
• …

Now, I’m writing an INSERT INTO in my c# program, but the Id column is defined to auto increment, so my statement looks like this:
INSERT INTO Contact (Name, FirstName) VALUES (“Sander”, “Declerck”)

So how can I get the new value for my object?

Answer 1

Issue this query:

SELECT  LAST_INSERT_ID()

right after the INSERT.
