In doubt with sqlite3-ruby

Ruby
1

Hi!
I have a table with an AUTOINCREMENT primary key and I would like to
know how to retrieve this primary key when a new row is inserted. Is it
possible?

Below, I written some sample ruby code for you to see my problem.

require ‘sqlite3’
db = SQLite3::Database.new( “test.db” )
db.execute “create table if not exists t1(id integer PRIMARY KEY
AUTOINCREMENT, v1, v2);”

some code, skipped, may include inserts to t1

db.execute “insert into t1 (v1,v2) values (1,2)” # don’t know the
primary key assigned.
db.execute “insert into t1 (v1,v2) values (3,4)” # don’t know the
primary key assigned.

Thank’s in advance,
Aureliano.

Just INTEGER PRIMARY KEY should be enough.

some code, skipped, may include inserts to t1

db.execute “insert into t1 (v1,v2) values (1,2)” # don’t know the
primary key assigned.
db.execute “insert into t1 (v1,v2) values (3,4)” # don’t know the
primary key assigned.

The method is called last_insert_rowid, I think,
check the API docs to verify.

The method is last_insert_row_id (note the “_” between row and id).
Thank you very much for the tip (I didn’t knew where look for it).
