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.
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.
You could do something like:
query.exec("SELECT id FROM myTable ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1");
to get the largest id in your table - this should be the one you just inserted.
If you are writing an application that can have multiple concurrent users you'll have to look into creating a lock on your table and then releasing the lock after you run this second query.
Use OUTPUT INSERTED.[Field Name] as in code below.
Read the returned ID with next() function.
bool RepeatsRecognizer::InsertEvent(RepEvent* event){
QSqlDatabase db = AppManager::DB_Output()->ThreadDatabase();
QSqlQuery query(db);
query.prepare("INSERT INTO RepEvents (ChannelID, StatsRangeUID, MinStartDateTime, MaxDuration, Fixed) OUTPUT INSERTED.ID"
" VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?)");
query.bindValue(0, event->ChannelID);
query.bindValue(1, event->StatsRangeUID.toString());
query.bindValue(2, event->MinStartDateTime);
query.bindValue(3, event->MaxDuration);
query.bindValue(4, false);
if (!query.exec())
return false;
if (!query.next())
return false;
event->ID = query.value(0).toLongLong();
qDebug() << __FUNCTION__ << "Event ID:" << event->ID;
}
