pyodbc on SQL Server - How can I do an insert and get the row ID back?


I'm using pyodbc with SQL Server 2000.

I want to be able to insert a row and get the auto incremented row id value back? Any ideas?

Here's what I have so far:

cursor.execute("insert into products(id, name) values ('pyodbc', 'awesome library')")
cnxn.commit()

  • Sorry, I asked too soon, it's addressed in their FAQ

    Use "SELECT @@IDENTITY".
