According to "Programming the Perl DBI" (O'Reilly 2000), the syntax varies depending on
your version of DBD::mysql:
If you used a prepare/execute:
$sth->{mysql_insertid} (1.21_xx)
$sth->{insertid} (1.20_xx)
If you used $dbh->do:
$dbh->{mysql_insertid} (1.21_xx)
$dbh->do("SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID()") (1.20_xx)

Hello,
I have inserted a new row into a table that has an auto incrementing key.
For some reason, I don't seem to be able to retrieve it after it is created.
I tried these two statements:
$LoginID = $dbh->last_insert_id( "", "", "Logins", "LoginID" );
and
$LoginID = $dbh->{'mysql_insertid'};
in both cases, $LoginID comes back undefined.
I tried before the COMMIT and after with the same results. Note that
auto commit is currently turned on, so my commits should have anything
to do with anything.
What am I doing wrong?
Note that I have verified that the key is being created with the
expected values.
