rowid of the last insert

If you look for the last insert result, check returning into.

Is it identity column, the rowid, any expression, get it back


SQL> var r varchar2(24)
SQL> var x number
SQL> var d varchar2(30)
SQL> insert into t values (default)
returning rowid,x,sysdate into :r,:x,:d;

1 row created.

SQL> print

R

It is documented in the SQL Reference. No need for PL/SQL here. I it very usefull if you use sequences too.

SQL> insert into t(x) values (s.nextval) returning x into :x;

1 row created.

SQL> print x
