I have created a ZSQL method with an INSERT statement and a SELECT statement containing a LAST_INSERT_ID function in it. These statements are separated by a <dtml-var sql_delimiter> tag. This is a typical scenario in which I want to grab the UNIQUE ID field value of the last record that was inserted so I can use that value to insert a linked record in another table. The ZSQL method returns nothing! If I understand this correctly each ZSQL is a unique MySQL instance so these statements need to be in the same ZSQL method in order to capture the correct LAST_INSERT_ID value, right? Here's my ZSQL Method ======================================== INSERT INTO FileTypes (FileType, Extension) VALUES ("AutoCAD","DWG") <dtml-var sql_delimiter> SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID() AS LastID ======================================== This inserts a new record in the table and returns nothing. I also double checked and yes there is an AUTO_INCREMENT field in the FileTypes table. I also tried using the alternate statement "SELECT * FROM FileTypes" after the delimiter tag thinking that perhaps the LAST_INSERT_ID () function was triggering the problem. This alternative returns nothing as well. It seems to me that you cannot have more than one statement in a ZSQL method and have it return anything. As a work-around I could use a MAX() function in a separate ZSQL method and have it be correct 99.99% of the time since this is a low traffic site, but I still prefer a method that is 100%. Why doesn't this work? Aargh. P. Johnson
