what does select @@identity do?
i am connecting to a mysql database through excel using odbc
what does this line do?
Set rs = oConn.Execute("SELECT @@identity", , adCmdText)
i am having trouble updating the database:
With rs
.AddNew ' create a new record
' add values to each field in the record
.Fields("datapath") = dpath
.Fields("analysistime") = atime
.Fields("reporttime") = rtime
.Fie开发者_运维百科lds("lastcalib") = lcalib
.Fields("analystname") = aname
.Fields("reportname") = rname
.Fields("batchstate") = "bstate"
.Fields("instrument") = "NA"
.Update ' stores the new record
End With
it is ONLY updating .Fields("instrument") = "NA", but for all other fields it is putting NULL values
It selects (and returns) the last value inserted into an IDENTITY COLUMN in the current connection.
Here is reference material on the topic
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/getting-unique-id.html
It retrieves the identity of the last record you inserted into the database. See here: http://www.kamath.com/tutorials/tut007_identity.asp
It retrieves the last inserted identity from an AUTO_INCREMENT column. However, I thought that LAST_INSERT_ID() was the proper function to use in MYSQL. I've never seen any reference to @@IDENTITY in the documentation. I thought it was only a SQL Server/Sybase construct.
