How do I get the last inserted primary key? [duplicate]

I want to INSERT a record in a database (which is Microsoft SQL Server in my case) using JDBC in Java. At the same time, I want to obtain the insert ID. How can I achieve this using JDBC API?

If it is an auto generated key, then you can use Statement#getGeneratedKeys() for this. You need to call it on the same Statement as the one being used for the INSERT. You first need to create the statement using Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS to notify the JDBC driver to return the keys.
Here's a basic example:
public void create(User user) throws SQLException {
try (
Connection connection = dataSource.getConnection();
PreparedStatement statement = connection.prepareStatement(SQL_INSERT,
Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS);
) {
statement.setString(1, user.getName());
statement.setString(2, user.getPassword());
statement.setString(3, user.getEmail());
// ...
int affectedRows = statement.executeUpdate();
if (affectedRows == 0) {
throw new SQLException("Creating user failed, no rows affected.");
}
try (ResultSet generatedKeys = statement.getGeneratedKeys()) {
if (generatedKeys.next()) {
user.setId(generatedKeys.getLong(1));
}
else {
throw new SQLException("Creating user failed, no ID obtained.");
}
}
}
}
Note that you're dependent on the JDBC driver as to whether it works. Currently, most of the last versions will work, but if I am correct, Oracle JDBC driver is still somewhat troublesome with this. MySQL and DB2 already supported it for ages. PostgreSQL started to support it not long ago. I can't comment about MSSQL as I've never used it.
For Oracle, you can invoke a CallableStatement with a RETURNING clause or a SELECT CURRVAL(sequencename) (or whatever DB-specific syntax to do so) directly after the INSERT in the same transaction to obtain the last generated key. See also this answer.

Create Generated Column
String generatedColumns[] = { "ID" };
Pass this geneated Column to your statement
PreparedStatement stmtInsert = conn.prepareStatement(insertSQL, generatedColumns);
Use ResultSet object to fetch the GeneratedKeys on Statement
ResultSet rs = stmtInsert.getGeneratedKeys();
if (rs.next()) {
long id = rs.getLong(1);
System.out.println("Inserted ID -" + id); // display inserted record
}

When encountering an 'Unsupported feature' error while using Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS, try this:
String[] returnId = { "BATCHID" };
String sql = "INSERT INTO BATCH (BATCHNAME) VALUES ('aaaaaaa')";
PreparedStatement statement = connection.prepareStatement(sql, returnId);
int affectedRows = statement.executeUpdate();
if (affectedRows == 0) {
throw new SQLException("Creating user failed, no rows affected.");
}
try (ResultSet rs = statement.getGeneratedKeys()) {
if (rs.next()) {
System.out.println(rs.getInt(1));
}
rs.close();
}
Where BATCHID is the auto generated id.

I'm hitting Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 from a single-threaded JDBC-based application and pulling back the last ID without using the RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS property or any PreparedStatement. Looks something like this:
private int insertQueryReturnInt(String SQLQy) {
ResultSet generatedKeys = null;
int generatedKey = -1;
try {
Statement statement = conn.createStatement();
statement.execute(SQLQy);
} catch (Exception e) {
errorDescription = "Failed to insert SQL query: " + SQLQy + "( " + e.toString() + ")";
return -1;
}
try {
generatedKey = Integer.parseInt(readOneValue("SELECT ##IDENTITY"));
} catch (Exception e) {
errorDescription = "Failed to get ID of just-inserted SQL query: " + SQLQy + "( " + e.toString() + ")";
return -1;
}
return generatedKey;
}
This blog post nicely isolates three main SQL Server "last ID" options:

You can use following java code to get new inserted id.
ps = con.prepareStatement(query, Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS);
ps.setInt(1, quizid);
ps.setInt(2, userid);
ps.executeUpdate();
ResultSet rs = ps.getGeneratedKeys();
if (rs.next()) {
lastInsertId = rs.getInt(1);
}

It is possible to use it with normal Statement's as well (not just PreparedStatement)
Statement statement = conn.createStatement();
int updateCount = statement.executeUpdate("insert into x...)", Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS);
try (ResultSet generatedKeys = statement.getGeneratedKeys()) {
if (generatedKeys.next()) {
return generatedKeys.getLong(1);
}
else {
throw new SQLException("Creating failed, no ID obtained.");
}
}

Most others have suggested to use JDBC API for this, but personally, I find it quite painful to do with most drivers. When in fact, you can just use a native T-SQL feature, the OUTPUT clause:
try (
Statement s = c.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = s.executeQuery(
"""
INSERT INTO t (a, b)
OUTPUT id
VALUES (1, 2)
"""
);
) {
while (rs.next())
System.out.println("ID = " + rs.getLong(1));
}
This is the simplest solution for SQL Server as well as a few other SQL dialects (e.g. Firebird, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, where you'd use RETURNING instead of OUTPUT).
I've blogged about this topic more in detail here.

With Hibernate's NativeQuery, you need to return a ResultList instead of a SingleResult, because Hibernate modifies a native query
INSERT INTO bla (a,b) VALUES (2,3) RETURNING id
like
INSERT INTO bla (a,b) VALUES (2,3) RETURNING id LIMIT 1
if you try to get a single result, which causes most databases (at least PostgreSQL) to throw a syntax error. Afterwards, you may fetch the resulting id from the list (which usually contains exactly one item).

In my case ->
ConnectionClass objConnectionClass=new ConnectionClass();
con=objConnectionClass.getDataBaseConnection();
pstmtGetAdd=con.prepareStatement(SQL_INSERT_ADDRESS_QUERY,Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS);
pstmtGetAdd.setString(1, objRegisterVO.getAddress());
pstmtGetAdd.setInt(2, Integer.parseInt(objRegisterVO.getCityId()));
int addId=pstmtGetAdd.executeUpdate();
if(addId>0)
{
ResultSet rsVal=pstmtGetAdd.getGeneratedKeys();
rsVal.next();
addId=rsVal.getInt(1);
}

If you are using Spring JDBC, you can use Spring's GeneratedKeyHolder class to get the inserted ID.
See this answer...
How to get inserted id using Spring Jdbctemplate.update(String sql, obj...args)

If you are using JDBC (tested with MySQL) and you just want the last inserted ID, there is an easy way to get it. The method I'm using is the following:
public static Integer insert(ConnectionImpl connection, String insertQuery){
Integer lastInsertId = -1;
try{
final PreparedStatement ps = connection.prepareStatement(insertQuery);
ps.executeUpdate(insertQuery);
final com.mysql.jdbc.PreparedStatement psFinal = (com.mysql.jdbc.PreparedStatement) ps;
lastInsertId = (int) psFinal.getLastInsertID();
connection.close();
} catch(SQLException ex){
System.err.println("Error: "+ex);
}
return lastInsertId;
}
Also, (and just in case) the method to get the ConnectionImpl is the following:
public static ConnectionImpl getConnectionImpl(){
ConnectionImpl conexion = null;
final String dbName = "database_name";
final String dbPort = "3306";
final String dbIPAddress = "127.0.0.1";
final String connectionPath = "jdbc:mysql://"+dbIPAddress+":"+dbPort+"/"+dbName+"?autoReconnect=true&useSSL=false";
final String dbUser = "database_user";
final String dbPassword = "database_password";
try{
conexion = (ConnectionImpl) DriverManager.getConnection(connectionPath, dbUser, dbPassword);
}catch(SQLException e){
System.err.println(e);
}
return conexion;
}
Remember to add the connector/J to the project referenced libraries.
In my case, the connector/J version is the 5.1.42. Maybe you will have to apply some changes to the connectionPath if you want to use a more modern version of the connector/J such as with the version 8.0.28.
In the file, remember to import the following resources:
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import com.mysql.jdbc.ConnectionImpl;
Hope this will be helpful.

Connection cn = DriverManager.getConnection("Host","user","pass");
Statement st = cn.createStatement("Ur Requet Sql");
int ret = st.execute();

Your code has many problem:
queryString = "select ID,Roll_no, Course_name, Course_code, Date,Time from student_reg where ID= id";
This line you have condition where but you not set the value yet, you should set
queryString = "select ID,Roll_no, Course_name, Course_code, Date,Time from student_reg where ID = " + id;
Better if you take a look at PreparedStatement for prevent SQL Injection as well.
The last one:
queryString= "INSERT INTO student_reg(Password) VALUES ('password') where ID = id";
This line seem you want to update something. Please review it.

queryString = "select ID,Roll_no, Course_name, Course_code, Date,Time from student_reg where ID= id";
should be
queryString = "select ID,Roll_no, Course_name, Course_code, Date,Time from student_reg where ID = " + id;
This would fix the error, but it would be better to use a PreparedStatement, where the query String looks like "select ID,Roll_no, Course_name, Course_code, Date,Time from student_reg where ID = ?", and you pass the id as a parameter.

It is so obvious because you shouldn't include the 'id' in your query string:
queryString = "select ID,Roll_no, Course_name, Course_code, Date,Time from student_reg where ID = " + id;
Very good hint from #spencer: you can not use WHERE clause in your INSERT INTO statement. Probably you wanted to UPDATE a row with that id. Also it is better to do it using PreparedStatemenet to avoid such mistakes:
conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/onlineexam","root", "batch12#nitap");
PreparedStatemenet pstmt = conn.preparedStatement("UPDATE student_reg SET password = 'password' where ID = ?");
pstmt.setLong(1, id);
int numberOfUpdatedRecords = pstmt.executeUpdate();
I suggest you to rename the column name password, because it is a reserved word in mysql, so you may get strange results working with that column name. Change it to some other thing like: pass_word or passwd , ... . As you may know you can use keywords as column names in your queries using some quotes or other things but it is more safe to rename it to another name, just for hint.
if you use this connection without a connection-pool, you may want to close the Statement and the Connection.
Good Luck.

compare database column values in mysql with another String in java

I have a database with the following layout
databasename:macfast
table name:users
columns
id,
user_name,
password,
fullName
I want to retrieve all the values from the column user_name and check each values with another one string which is already retrieved from a TEXTFIELD.But I can't(NullpointerException). Please help me.
public void deleteFclty() {
PreparedStatement stmt = null;
ResultSet rs = null;
String username=removeText.getText();
String qry = "SELECT user_name From users ";
try {
stmt = (PreparedStatement) connection.prepareStatement(qry);
rs = stmt.executeQuery();
while (rs.next()) {
String check=(rs.getString("user_name"));
System.out.println(check);
if(check.equals(username)){
Util.showErrorMessageDialog("EQUAL");
}else{
Util.showErrorMessageDialog("NOT EQUAL");
}
}
}catch (SQLException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(RemoveFaculty.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
}

Problem is with the prepared statement (you don't put id into statement, which should be there instead of question mark).
Also I would recommend to do condition as "username.equals(check)", that can prevent null pointer exception.

"SELECT user_name From users where id=?"
This query has a parameter and you're not setting any value to it. Use PreparedStatement#setInt() or similar to set it, e.g.:
stmt.setInt(1, 1);

The problem is with PreparedStatement as you are using Question mark ? in your query for that you have to set the Id value.
String qry = "SELECT user_name From users where id=?";
stmt = (PreparedStatement) connection.prepareStatement(qry);
stmt.setInt(1,1001);
rs = stmt.executeQuery();

For your question in comment below:
List<String> values = new ArrayList();
while (rs.next()) {
values.add(0,rs.getString(<>))
}
// here do whatever you want to do...
// for example
for ( String value: values )
{
// check if value == TEXTFIELD
// if true then do something..
// else don't do anything
}

How to change the database name and table using java?

i try to understand this part of code:
Properties details= new Properties();
details.load(new FileInputStream("details.properties"));
String userName = details.getProperty("root");
String password = details.getProperty("mysqlpassword");
String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/test";
Class.forName ("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
conn = DriverManager.getConnection (url, userName, password);
System.out.println ("Database connection established");
PreparedStatement st = conn.prepareStatement("insert into 'Email_list' values(?)");
for(String mail:mails)
i understand that test database is a default database. but if i want to use an existing database, i will just modify test to another database name isn't it?
If yes how do i modify my code if my new database is Test2 with table name Email which contains mail column with varchar(100)
i try to replace test by Test2 Email_list by Email but i don't know where to put the column name mail.
Thank you for help

The INSERT statement you use omits the columns.
INSERT INTO tablename VALUES (1, 2, 3)
can be written if the table has three columns and for all three columns values are provided.
If some columns can be left empty or have default values, you can write
INSERT INTO tablename (column1, column2) VALUES (1, 2)
In this cas the value for column3 is null or the default value.
So in your case the column name is put nowhere.

You are missing PORT number in your connection string...
String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/test"; should be String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:PORT_NUMBER/test"; like String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test";
Let me know if you have any queries...
Also, Check below how Prepared Statement works
import java.sql.*;
public class TwicePreparedStatement{
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Twice use prepared statement example!\n");
Connection con = null;
PreparedStatement prest;
try{
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql:
//localhost:3306/jdbctutorial","root","root");
try{
String sql = "SELECT * FROM movies WHERE year_made = ?";
prest = con.prepareStatement(sql);
prest.setInt(1,2002);
ResultSet rs1 = prest.executeQuery();
System.out.println("List of movies that made in year 2002");
while (rs1.next()){
String mov_name = rs1.getString(1);
int mad_year = rs1.getInt(2);
System.out.println(mov_name + "\t- " + mad_year);
}
prest.setInt(1,2003);
ResultSet rs2 = prest.executeQuery();
System.out.println("List of movies that made in year 2003");
while (rs2.next()){
String mov_name = rs2.getString(1);
int mad_year = rs2.getInt(2);
System.out.println(mov_name + "\t- " + mad_year);
}
}
catch (SQLException s){
System.out.println("SQL statement is not executed!");
}
}
catch (Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Good Luck!!!
