 Hi Pavel,

Using this as reference and your link :

https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/3281/how-do-i-use-currval-in-postgresql-to-get-the-last-inse...

I tried :

select lastval('t_id') from table_tutor;

but it is not working.

Is there any tutorial out there that teaches the exact syntax ?

Thanks & regards,
Karen

Hi,

I hope I am posting on the right forum.  I googled but I can't find any solution pertaining to my problem.

Could someone know what is the syntext for last_insert_id() in Postgresql for me to insert into my sql execute query?


Postgres has not last_insert_id function. Maybe you think "lastval" function
 https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/functions-sequence.html

Pavel


public int getTutorById() {
                openConnection();
                int tutor_id = 0;
                try {
                        Statement stmt3 = connection.createStatement();
                        ResultSet rs = stmt3.executeQuery("SELECT last_insert_id() from xtutor");
                        {
                                while (rs.next()) {
                                        tutor_id = rs.getInt(1);                                                        
                                }
                        }
                } catch (SQLException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                }
                return tutor_id;
        }

The generated id is successfully generated by JDBC.

The errors when I tested in out using PGAdmin4 is 

ERROR:  function last_insert_id() does not exist

               ^

Postgresql 11, Windows 11

Thanks.
