As you correctly say, last_insert_id is not supported by DBD::ODBC. The main reason for this is that there is no ODBC way to retrieve the last inserted ID. Each database and ODBC driver /may/ provide a way of obtaining it but support varies massively between databases and drivers (select @@identity, select myseq.currval from dual, insert ... returning, etc)

As others have pointed out there may be ways of obtaining the last inserted id with MS Access but it rather depends on the version of access you are using and access method. This highlights again, why DBD::ODBC does not do it.

If people want to send me SQL or other methods that work for different ODBC drivers and databases I will happily add them to the DBD::ODBC pod.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
