Hi Daniel, Thanks for your description, it is much appreciated. :-) 5 word one liners from people too lazy to explain properly would really be best if they didn't reply at all. Cheers, thanks again. -Jm -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Ivanov <sertys@gmail.com> To: FreeSWITCH Users Help <freeswitch-users@lists.freeswitch.org> Sent: Sat, May 25, 2013 5:57 pm Subject: Re: [Freeswitch-users] dbh:query - insert id It is true that the luasql driver is overly basic and poorly documented . Unfortunately mysql doesn't support RETURNING clause like pgsql and oracle. You should however try SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID(); right after the insert query. I cannot guarantee it works due to the unknown nature(to me that is) of the luasql transaction handling, but it should keep a transaction open for as long as a db handler lives.

Instead of being cryptic, if you know the answer won't you please help by explaining what the RETURNING clause is and how to use it? Does it somehow return mysql_insert_id()? How should we use it. You help is invaluable and is contributing to the freeswitch community. -Jm -----Original Message----- From: Seven Du <dujinfang@gmail.com> To: FreeSWITCH Users Help <freeswitch-users@lists.freeswitch.org> Sent: Sat, May 25, 2013 12:52 pm Subject: Re: [Freeswitch-users] dbh:query - insert id Maybe try the RETURNING clause ? -- Seven Du http://www.freeswitch.org.cn http://about.me/dujinfang http://www.dujinfang.com Sent with Sparrow On Saturday, May 25, 2013 at 8:14 AM, Lloyd Aloysius wrote: Hello All How to get the id value after insert a record a record using dbh:query table_a - columns. id - auto increment field1 field2 dbh:query("insert into table_a ( field1,field2) values ('11','Test')") After insert how to get the table_a - id value for the inserted record?
