Re: What is the right syntax for retrieving the last_insert_id() inPostgresql ? - Mailing list pgsql-sql

Hi,

I hope I am posting on the right forum.  I googled but I can't find any solution pertaining to my problem.

Could someone know what is the syntext for last_insert_id() in Postgresql for me to insert into my sql execute query?

public int getTutorById() {
                openConnection();
                int tutor_id = 0;
                try {
                        Statement stmt3 = connection.createStatement();
                        ResultSet rs = stmt3.executeQuery("SELECT last_insert_id() from xtutor");
                        {
                                while (rs.next()) {
                                        tutor_id = rs.getInt(1);                                                       
                                }
                        }
                } catch (SQLException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                }
                return tutor_id;
        }

The generated id is successfully generated by JDBC.

The errors when I tested in out using PGAdmin4 is

ERROR:  function last_insert_id() does not exist
LINE 1: SELECT last_insert_id() from xtutor;
               ^

Thanks.
