So I’m running into a weird issue where cfquery is not returning the generated key via #insertq.generatedKey# after doing an insert operation. trying to pull it seems to more or less lead to a loop somewhere–the webpage never finishes loading and either continues forever or leads to a 502 error when accessing via the reverse proxy.
More interestingly, when trying to do a cfdump on queries, it says that The key [INSERTQ] does not exist.
@weppy, Please make sure your table has an auto increment column, then only we can get generatedkey from the result without error after inserting data.
I’ve checked with using serial data type. It gives generatedkey using PostgreSQL DB also.
I tested with according to the below example. Could you please check this? If possible
CREATE TABLE test ( id serial, f_name varchar(20) )
<cfquery name ="insertData" datasource="testDs" result="res">
INSERT INTO test ( name ) VALUES ( 'lucee' )
</cfquery>
<cfdump var="#res.generatedkey#" />
Thank you so much–you’ve helped me figure it out. I wasn’t including the “result=” part in cfquery–I thought just using “name=” was enough as I can loop through SELECTs just based on that.
It’s been a while since I’ve been doing CF and I’m trying to get back up to speed!
@weppy, Yes, You are right. Actually, we can use the “name” attribute for the select statement. If we use the insert statement, you should follow the “result” attribute.
