Hello Experts,

In a datastore, I am inserting a row and placing values for all columns except for the Roll_no column, which is an auto-increment field. I saved the datastore. Now I need to retrieve the value for the column Roll_no. How can I achieve this?

Thanks

Deva S

For MS SQL Server you can specify in the connection settings how PB gets the identity column value: https://docs.appeon.com/pb2022r3/connection_reference/Identity.html You have also to specify the identity column in DW update properties.

Hi Deva;

  If you are truely using an Identity (autoincrement) column in SS, then the new value will be in the DWO after the insert as the DWIO is preprogrammed to automatically retrieve the new value after the insert operation completes. If it does not, then the problem is your DB Schema design. You should check this with your DBA team as the DWO has been doing this since PB 2-3 against Sybase SS & now MS SS 

  Manually though, you can ask your DWO to refresh it's buffer after an Update() by using the ReSelectRow() command.  HTH 

Regards ... Chris

What database do you use? For some databases PB supports identity columns. For identity columns PB gets the values automatically.

From my memory,

1. select the identity column in the datawindow update properties

2. After dw_1.update and before dw_1.reset, read the identity column, via dw_1.GetItemNumber command. You can get that value. I remember getting those values like this earlier.
