how to get the last record number after inserting record to database in access
(6 answers)
Closed 1 year ago.
Am working with Access as Database in C# (Visual Studio 15). I want to save form entries (add record) into the Access Database and would want the corresponding ID of the record to show in MsgBox upon a successful saving. I have tried the following:
private void Form21_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
connection.Open();
checkConnection.Text = "Server Connection, Successful";
connection.Close();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show("Error, Server not connected " + ex);
}
}
private void Button6_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
connection.Open();
OleDbCommand command = new OleDbCommand();
command.Connection = connection;
command.CommandText = "insert into Students_File ([YourNames],[Nationality],[StateOfOrigin],[PlaceOfBirth],[DoB],[HomeAddress],[LastSchools1],[LastClass1],[LastSchools2],[LastClass2],[LastSchools3],[LastClass3],[AdmClass],[CurrentClass],[Guidian],[GuardianContact],[UserName],[PassWord],[Gender],[RegistrationDate]) values('" + YourNames.Text + "','" + Nationality.Text + "','" + StateOfOrigin.Text + "','" + PlaceOfBirth.Text + "','" + DoB.Text + "','" + HomeAddress.Text + "','" + LastSchools1.Text + "','" + LastClass1.Text + "','" + LastSchools2.Text + "','" + LastClass2.Text + "','" + LastSchools3.Text + "','" + LastClass3.Text + "','" + AdmClass.Text + "','" + CurrentClass.Text + "','" + Guidian.Text + "','" + GuardianContact.Text + "','" + UserName.Text + "','" + PassWord.Text + "','" + Gender.Text + "','" + RegistrationDate.Text + "')";
command.ExecuteNonQuery();
//MessageBox.Show("Congrats! Your registration, is successful. You may now click close button, then proceed to login");
command.CommandText = "Select * from Students_File where UserName='" + UserName.Text + "' and PassWord='" + PassWord.Text + "'";
OleDbDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader();
int count = 0;
while (reader.Read())
{
count = count + 1;
}
if (count == 1)
{
MessageBox.Show("Congrats! Your registration, is successful. You may now click close button, then proceed to login");
this.Close();
}
else if (count > 1)
{
MessageBox.Show("Sorry, the chosen username or password is currently existing or picked by another user. Consequently, your registration was not successful. Do please, decide another but a unique one. Thank you");
}
connection.Close();
}

You can do it this way:
using (OleDbCommand Command = new OleDbCommand("", conn))
{
Command.CommandText = "Your big ugly mess - need to change this to parmaters!)";
Command.Connection.Open();
Command.ExecuteNonQuery();
Command.CommandText = "Select ##Identity";
var intLastID = Command.ExecuteScalar;
MsgBox("Last id into database = " + intLastID);
}
As noted, you do want to change that insert command - it too long, too difficult to maintain, and subject to mistakes in code and even sql injection.
But, for now, you can use the above approach to get/pick up the last ID insert.

In solution to my inquiry, i have the following code (From Kevin):
string query = "Insert Into Categories (CategoryName) Values (?)";
string query2 = "Select ##Identity";
int ID;
string connect = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=|DataDirectory|Northwind.mdb";
using (OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection(connect))
{
using (OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand(query, conn))
{
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#CategoryName", OleDbType.Integer);
conn.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
cmd.CommandText = query2;
ID = (int)cmd.ExecuteScalar();
}
}
Now, my challenge is how do i get the ID to appear in messagebox after a successful record creation. Please consider my earliest code in this post in connection with this.

when i fire insert query i get Exception thrown: 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException' in System.Data.dll

I am new to this forum and new to C# web programming. I am developing LMS (Library Management system) using SQL Server and Visual Studio ver 16. I have an issue with the insertion of data into the database. the same code I used in other pages and work perfectly. put hardcoded values in insert statement and it worked perfectly which means that there is no issue with connection to database so where is the issue? it can be the text boxes etc name and property which I also checked and found correct. code is as follows
try
{
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(strcon);
if (con.State == ConnectionState.Closed)
{
con.Open();
}
// SqlCommand cmd = con.CreateCommand();
//cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;// beow is the way to write a query like ist put '' then iside we have "" and then isde we have ++ and then inside we have text box name
// cmd.CommandText= "INSERT INTO member_master_tbl values('"++"','"++"','"++"','"++"','"++"','"++"','"++"','"++"','"++"')"
// cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO member_master_tbl (full_name,dob,contact_no,email,state,city,pincode,full_address,member_id,password) values ('" + TextBox1.Text.Trim() + "','" + TextBox2.Text.Trim() + "','"+TextBox4.Text.Trim()+"','" + TextBox3.Text.Trim() + "','" + DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Value + "','" + TextBox6.Text.Trim() + "','" + TextBox7.Text.Trim() + "','" + TextBox5.Text.Trim() + "','" + TextBox8.Text.Trim() + "','" + TextBox9.Text.Trim() + "');";
//notr thr col nsmes in the query are case sensitive
String status = "pending";
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("INSERT INTO member_master_tbl (full_name,dob,contact_no,email,state,city,pincode,full_address,member_id,password,account_status)values(#full_name,#dob,#contact_no,#email,#state,#city,#pincode,#full_address,#member_id,#password,#account_status);", con);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#full_name", TextBox1.Text.Trim());
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#dob", TextBox2.Text.Trim());
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#contact_no", TextBox3.Text.Trim());
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#email", TextBox4.Text.Trim());
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#state", DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Value);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#city", TextBox6.Text.Trim());
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#pincode", TextBox7.Text.Trim());
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#full_address", TextBox5.Text.Trim());
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#member_id", TextBox8.Text.Trim());
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#password", TextBox9.Text.Trim());
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#account_status",status);
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
con.Close();
Response.Write("<script>alert('Sign Up Successful. Go to User Login to Login');</script>");
}
catch (SqlException ex)
{
Response.Write("<script>alert('" + ex.Message + "');</script>");
}
}

using windows form c# to add values to Mysql database

I need to get the userid(primary key auto_increment) from another table(login) into userdetails table. When trying to run it I keep getting this error " incorrect integer value: 'LAST_INSERT_ID()' for column 'userid' at row 1".
I've tried to take LAST_INSERT_ID() out and run another query after query4 to insert the value into the userid but I can't get it to insert into the right row it just opens a new row.
this is the code am trying to run.
try
{
//This is my connection string i have assigned the database file address path
string MyConnection2 = "datasource=localhost;port=3310;database=e-votingsystem;username=root;password=Password12;";
//this is my insert query in which i am taking input from the user through windows forms
string Query2 = "INSERT INTO vote (username) VALUE ('" + usernameInputBox.Text + "');";
string Query3 = "INSERT INTO login (username,upassword) VALUE ('" + usernameInputBox.Text + "','" + passwordInputBox.Text + "');";
string Query4 = "INSERT INTO userdetails (nationalinsurance,userid,forename,middlename,surname,housenumber,street,towncity,postcode,suffix) VALUES ('" + nationalInsuranceInputBox.Text + "','"+"LAST_INSERT_ID()"+"','" + forenameInputBox.Text + "','" + middleNameInputBox.Text + "','" + surnameInputBox.Text + "','" + houseNumberInputBox.Text + "','" + streetTextBox.Text + "','" + towncityTextBox.Text + "','" + postcodeInputBox.Text + "','" + suffixComboBox.Text+"');";
//This is MySqlConnection here i have created the object and pass my connection string.
MySqlConnection MyConn2 = new MySqlConnection(MyConnection2);
//This is command class which will handle the query and connection object.
MySqlCommand MyCommand2 = new MySqlCommand(Query2, MyConn2);
MySqlCommand MyCommand3 = new MySqlCommand(Query3, MyConn2);
MySqlCommand MyCommand4 = new MySqlCommand(Query4, MyConn2);
MySqlDataReader MyReader2;
MySqlDataReader MyReader3;
MySqlDataReader MyReader4;
// opens new connection to database then executes command
MyConn2.Open();
MyReader2 = MyCommand2.ExecuteReader(); // Here the query will be executed and data saved into the database.
while (MyReader2.Read())
{
}
MyConn2.Close();
// opens new connection to database then executes command
MyConn2.Open();
MyReader3 = MyCommand3.ExecuteReader();
while (MyReader3.Read())
{
}
MyConn2.Close();
//opens new connection to database the exexcutes command
MyConn2.Open();
MyReader4 = MyCommand4.ExecuteReader();
while (MyReader4.Read())
{
}
MyConn2.Close();
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}
MessageBox.Show("Hello " + forename + surname, "read and accept the terms and conditions to continue");
//new termsAndConditionsPage().Show();
//Hide();
}

As explained in other answer, you have the LAST_INSERT_ID between single quotes and this transform it in a literal string not in a statement to execute. However also removing the quotes I am not sure that you can retrieve the LAST_INSERT_ID using a connection different from the one that originates the AUTOINCREMENT number on the login table. In any case you should use a different approach and, as a first thing, you should remove ASAP the string concatenations and use parameters (Reason: Sql Injection or SurName = O'Neill)
string Query2 = "INSERT INTO vote (username) VALUE (#uname)";
string Query3 = #"INSERT INTO login (username,upassword) VALUE (#uname, #upass);
SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID();";
string Query4 = #"INSERT INTO userdetails
(nationalinsurance,userid,forename,middlename,
surname,housenumber,street,towncity,postcode,suffix)
VALUES (#insurance, #userid, #forename, #middlename,
#surname, #housenum, #street, #town, #postcode, #suffix)";
Now open just one connection and build three commands, all between an using statement
using(MySqlConnection con = new MySqlConnection(.....constring here....))
using(MySqlCommand cmd2 = new MySqlCommand(Query2, con))
using(MySqlCommand cmd3 = new MySqlCommand(Query3, con))
using(MySqlCommand cmd4 = new MySqlCommand(Query4, con))
{
con.Open();
// Add the parameter to the first command
cmd2.Parameters.Add("#uname", MySqlDbType.VarChar).Value = usernameInputBox.Text;
// run the first command
cmd2.ExecuteNonQuery();
// Add parameters to the second command
cmd3.Parameters.Add("#uname", MySqlDbType.VarChar).Value = usernameInputBox.Text;
cmd3.Parameters.Add("#upass", MySqlDbType.VarChar).Value = passwordInputBox.Text;
// Run the second command, but this one
// contains two statement, the first inserts, the
// second returns the LAST_INSERT_ID on that table, we need to
// catch that single return
int userID = (int)cmd3.ExecuteScalar();
// Run the third command
// but first prepare the parameters
cmd4.Parameters.Add("#insurance", MySqlDbType.VarChar).Value = nationalInsuranceInputBox.Text;
cmd4.Parameters.Add("#userid", MySqlDbType.Int32).Value = userID;
.... and so on for all other parameters
.... using the appropriate MySqlDbType for the column type
cmd4.ExecuteNonQuery();
}

you current query has an error
string Query4 = "INSERT INTO userdetails (nationalinsurance,userid,forename,middlename,surname,housenumber,street,towncity,postcode,suffix) VALUE ('" + nationalInsuranceInputBox.Text + "','"+"LAST_INSERT_ID()"+"','" + forenameInputBox.Text + "','" + middleNameInputBox.Text + "','" + surnameInputBox.Text + "','" + houseNumberInputBox.Text + "','" + streetTextBox.Text + "','" + towncityTextBox.Text + "','" + postcodeInputBox.Text + "','" + suffixComboBox.Text + "');SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID();"
try the attached query

In your text query string you have: "','"+"LAST_INSERT_ID()"+"','". Note that the "','"s before and after the "LAST_INSERT_ID()" are incorrectly enclosing the LAST_INSERT_ID() term in single quotes.
Try the following query:
string Query4 = "INSERT INTO userdetails (nationalinsurance,userid,forename,middlename,surname,housenumber,street,towncity,postcode,suffix) VALUE ('" + nationalInsuranceInputBox.Text + "',"+"LAST_INSERT_ID()"+",'" + forenameInputBox.Text + "','" + middleNameInputBox.Text + "','" + surnameInputBox.Text + "','" + houseNumberInputBox.Text + "','" + streetTextBox.Text + "','" + towncityTextBox.Text + "','" + postcodeInputBox.Text + "','" + suffixComboBox.Text + "');";

Error SQL INSERT INTO with Odbc Command C#

Scenario:
I want to input data from textbox into the database based on microsoft data base (.mdb)
I already searching and find good clue and my result was here.
This Code below was inside command button click event:
using (OdbcConnection conn= new OdbcConnection())
{
conn.ConnectionString = #"Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};" +
"Dbq=C:\\BlaBlaBla.mdb;Uid=Admin;Pwd=;";
conn.Open();
using (OdbcCommand cmd = new OdbcCommand(
"INSERT INTO TABLENAME (FIELD1,FIELD2,FIELD3) VALUES ('" + txtFIELD1Input.Text + "','" + txtFIELD2Input.Text + "','" + txtFIELDInput.Text + "' )", conn))
{
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
conn.Close();
}
And when I click the command button, I get unfriendly exception
ERROR [42S02] [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Could not find
output table 'TABLENAME'.
That happened when I insert cmd.ExecuteNonQuery. If I didn't insert that, of course nothing happens in my table target.
So what mistakes did I make in that code? What should I do?

"INSERT INTO TABLENAME (FIELD1,FIELD2,FIELD3) VALUES ('" + txtFIELD1Input.Text + "','" + txtFIELD2Input.Text + "','" + txtFIELDInput.Text + "' )", myConnection))
change this into
"INSERT INTO TABLENAME (FIELD1,FIELD2,FIELD3) VALUES ('" + txtFIELD1Input.Text + "','" + txtFIELD2Input.Text + "','" + txtFIELDInput.Text + "' )", Conn))
you define Conn as your connection string not "myConnection"

So i changed to OleDbConnection And My Problem Cleared,
using (OleDbConnectionconn= new OleDbConnection())
{
conn.ConnectionString = #"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\Users\LOSERONE\Documents\DATABASE\Latihan1.mdb";
conn.Open();
using (OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand (
"INSERT INTO TABLENAME (FIELD1,FIELD2,FIELD3) VALUES ('" + txtFIELD1Input.Text + "','" + txtFIELD2Input.Text + "','" + txtFIELDInput.Text + "' )", conn))
{
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
conn.Close();
}
Seems, to connected the database must same as the connection string in the properties on the targeted database.
Does anyone can tell me what is the difference OleDbConnection with OdbcConnection in .mdb database file?!

This problem is because sql connection's default database after login is not the same where your table 'TABLENAME' exists. Try to add database name before table like this:
INSERT INTO DBNAME..TABLENAME (FIELD1, FIELD2)

replace your myConnection to Conn

How to execute 2 Sql statements with one button click

I've managed to run this query using wamp.
INSERT INTO guest (guestno,familyname)
VALUES(NULL,'Damn');
INSERT INTO reservation (reservationno, guestno)
VALUES(NUll,LAST_INSERT_ID())
However If I separately execute these 2 insert statements I will have a foreign key constraint.
I think the both of them need to be executed at the same time.
My questions are:
How to incorporate this into my c# winform code?
Is it possible to have 2 insert statements on one button?
When the user presses "add reservation" I would like the two MySQl query's to be executed.
Here's my insert statement:
private void button7_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string connectionString =
"Server=localhost;" +
"Database=sad;" +
"User ID=root;" +
"Password=root;" +
"Pooling=false";
IDbConnection dbcon;
dbcon = new MySqlConnection(connectionString);
dbcon.Open();
IDbCommand dbcmd = dbcon.CreateCommand();
string sql = "<insert statement>";
dbcmd.CommandText = sql;
IDataReader reader = dbcmd.ExecuteReader();
reader.Read();
}
UPDATED VERSION (DOESN'T WORK)
string connectionString =
"Server=localhost;" +
"Database=sad;" +
"User ID=root;" +
"Password=root;" +
"Pooling=false";
Form3 f3 = new Form3();
IDbConnection dbcon;
dbcon = new MySqlConnection(connectionString);
dbcon.Open();
IDbCommand dbcmd = dbcon.CreateCommand();
string sql = "insert into guest (guestno, familyname) values (null, '" + textBox6.Text + "'); insert into reservation (reservationno, guestno) values (null, LAST_INSERT_ID())";
dbcmd.CommandText = sql;
IDataReader reader = dbcmd.ExecuteReader();
reader.Read();
MessageBox.Show("Added Guest Reservation Successfully");
f3.guestList();
f3.reservationList();
Updated No.3 (STILL DOESN'T WORK)
string connectionString =
"Server=localhost;" +
"Database=sad;" +
"User ID=root;" +
"Password=root;" +
"Pooling=false";
IDbConnection dbcon;
dbcon = new MySqlConnection(connectionString);
dbcon.Open();
IDbCommand dbcmd = dbcon.CreateCommand();
dbcmd = new MySqlCommand("CreateGuestAndReservation", dbcon);
dbcmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
dbcmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("familyName", "foo");
dbcmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
enter code here

You can't execute more than one statement on a given MySqlCommand.
Your best bet all around (maintainability, performance, readability) is to:
create a MySQL stored procedure for your 2 SQL statements.
call your stored proc using ExecuteNonQuery().
DELIMITER //
CREATE PROCEDURE CreateGuestAndReservation
(
IN familyName VARCHAR(255)
)
BEGIN
insert into guest (guestno, familyname)
values (null, familyName);
insert into reservation (reservationno, guestno)
values (null, LAST_INSERT_ID());
END//
DELIMITER ;
Call it from your WinForms code like this:
dbcon.Open();
cmd = new MySqlCommand("CreateGuestAndReservation", dbcon);
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
//cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("?familyName", "foo");
cmd.Parameters.Add("?familyName", MySqlDbType.VarChar,255).Value = "foo";
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();

The code below should work but I suspect you may have already tried it given that you are asking for help?
string sql = "INSERT INTO guest (guestno,familyname) VALUES(NULL,'Damn'); INSERT INTO reservation (reservationno, guestno) VALUES(NUll,LAST_INSERT_ID())";
If you need parameters, try this:
string sql = "INSERT INTO guest (guestno,familyname) VALUES(NULL,?familyName); INSERT INTO reservation (reservationno, guestno) VALUES(NUll,LAST_INSERT_ID())";
...
dbcmd.Parameters.Add("#familyName", MySqlDbType.VarChar, 80).Value = _familyName;
EDIT: You may need to run 2 insert commands. See here.

I would suggest having a way to get ids other than relying on automatic id generation like autoincrements of mysql and sql server, which are very limiting. If you use a HILO id generator you first obtain id, and then execute a couple of inserts in a single transaction no problem, since you know your parent id beforehand.
It will not solve your immediate problem, but it will help tremendeously in future with your application, especially if storing parent-children like data is going to occur often.

Try this, it will work:
private void button56_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
con.Open();
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("insert into stholidays values('" + dateTimePicker12.Text + "','" + dateTimePicker20.Text + "','" + dateTimePicker13.Text + "','" + mbk + "','" + dateTimePicker14.Text + "','" + dateTimePicker15.Text + "','" + lt + "','" + dateTimePicker16.Text + "','" + dateTimePicker17.Text + "','" + ebk + "','" + dateTimePicker18.Text + "','" + dateTimePicker19.Text + "','" + textBox105.Text + "','" + textBox106.Text + "','" + textBox107.Text + "','" + dd + "','" + textBox104.Text + "')", con);
SqlCommand cmd1 = new SqlCommand("insert into holidays values('" + dd + "','" + ms + "','" + day + "','" + textBox104.Text + "')", con);
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
cmd1.ExecuteNonQuery();
con.Close();
}
