Question

See more:

I have table employee(empID, fName, lName)
position(positionID, positionName)
empPosition(empID, positionID, dateChanged, INDEX(empID), INDEX(positionID))

I am doing this code

C#

cmd.CommandText =
                "INSERT INTO employee (empID, fName, lName)" +
                " VALUES('null','" + fNameTxt.Text + "','" + lNameTxt.Text + "')";"

I have to enter this empID, which is auto increment in database, to enter in empPosition table along with positionID. can you give me any idea how to get LAST_INSERT_ID() in it ?
I tried to do SET @employee = LAST_INSERT_ID(); but couldnt make the syntax correct.

You can get any table's details from the following query:

SQL

SHOW TABLE STATUS FROM 'your DB name' LIKE '%your table name%' ;

For getting the auto increment value on a table you can use the following query:

SQL

SELECT AUTO_INCREMENT
FROM  INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = 'your db name'
AND   TABLE_NAME   = 'your table name';

Good luck,
OI

Solution 2

Use "select SCOPE_IDENTITY()" to get the last successful inserted id value from database.

This works in SQL SERVER..

Best of luck.
