Thread: jdbc how to get SERIAL
How do I get the id column of a row via jdbc if the column is a SERIAL column. I want to get the id of the row after I insert new data via jdbc execute command. Thanks, John Thorhauer -- ******************************** ** John Thorhauer ** jthorhauer@phoenixcolor.com ********************************
Explictly get the value.
For example:
ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery("select nextval('my_col_name_seq'));st.next(); int id =
st.getInt(1);st.executeUpdate("insertinto mytable values(id = "+id+" , myvalu =
'blah');");

No, you want to do an insert, to you need to get the nextval.
The function currval does this. Ie:
select currval("mycol_id_seq");
where mycol is the table and id is the column for the sequence.
Would return that value. PS: The result is for that session, so if another
session increments that sequence, you don't see that value but the last
value of _your_ session.

If you call nextval() then ther sequence will increment. Once the insert has
been done, currval() will then return the last value used in that
connection. You don't have any race conditions with other connections with
currval.
