Hi

I believe that Firefox uses gen_id to trigger a generator to be used
for auto incrementing values. Mysql on PHP has an easy way
(mysql_insert_id) in determining the last inserted id. Do we have a
corresponding feature like this for firebird?

Thanks.

Arnold



[Alan McDonald] Firefox os the browser, Firebird is the RDBMS

This is how I get a new value
$newcontactid = $db->get_var("SELECT GEN_ID(GEN_CONTACT,1) FROM
RDB\$DATABASE");
Then you use it to insert your new record
