  Hi all,

  Hope I can explain this well. Is there a way I can get the primary key (identity field) of the most recent inserted records?

  So for example, I have a data flow which inserts records from a source sql table into a destination sql table. After inserting, I want to grab the ID field (identity field) of all the records I just inserted and load those into another table.

  Source

  Field1

  This

  is

  a

  test

  Destination

  ID, Field1

  78, This

  79, is

  80, a

  81, test

  So 78,79,80, and 81 would get dropped into an ID column in another table.

  Can this be done?

  Thanks,

  Strick

  You can use OLEDB command for the same.

  Write a stored procedure which will insert a record into table and then select @@IDENTITY value as output parameter.

  Create a new column(for identity) with datatype numeric using derived column with default value 0.

  You can call this stored procedure and then map the output of procedure to identity column created.

  The identity value will be available for further processing.

  I almost forgot about this, and I just read 2 2008 books 🙁

  @@IDENTITY or SCOPE_IDENTITY() I believe only return 1 record, so may not work in this case
