SQL task & @@IDENTITY

    I'm developing a DTS package in SQLserver 2000. I have a simple problem...or so I thought!

    I have an Execute SQL Task;

    INSERT INTO MyTable([name], phone, fax, email)

    VALUES('john','123-6321','123-5321','john@place.com')

    This INSERTs a new record into MyTable.

    I also want the row ID of the just inserted record. So I added this code which I've used before in asp pages.

    SELECT ID = @@IDENTITY Then I assigned ID to a Global var.

    I've also tried SCOPE_IDENTITY() and IDENT_CURRENT().

    I've seen this done in 2005 SSIS but I'm not getting anything!

    Has anyone run into this?:angry:

    ********UPDATE*************

    I found this same topic on this forum from 2006...

    Doesn't sound like theres a good way around it...

    Microsoft strikes again...

    you'd need a declare @id int

    select @id = scope_identity()

    however I'm not sure how you plan on using this in DTS or your Execute SQL task. Maybe if you explain what you want to do, we can help.

    Heh... one of the many reasons I don't use DTS...

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
