Get the id of last inserted record in mybatis

Question

I am newbie to mybatis. I am trying to get the id of last inserted record. My database is mysql and my mapper xml is

  <insert id="insertSelective"  parameterType="com.mycom.myproject.db.mybatis.model.FileAttachment" >
  <selectKey resultType="java.lang.Long" keyProperty="id" order="AFTER" >
  SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID() as id
</selectKey>
 insert into fileAttachment
<trim prefix="(" suffix=")" suffixOverrides="," >
  <if test="name != null" >
    name,
  </if>
  <if test="attachmentFileSize != null" >
    size,
  </if>      
</trim>
<trim prefix="values (" suffix=")" suffixOverrides="," >
  <if test="name != null" >
    #{name,jdbcType=VARCHAR},
  </if>
 <if test="attachmentFileSize != null" >
    #{attachmentFileSize,jdbcType=INTEGER},
  </if>
 </trim>
 </insert>

I thought statement written here 'SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID() as id' should return id of last inserted record but I am getting always 1 after inserting the record.

My mapper.java class I have method

   int insertSelective(FileAttachment record);

In my dao class I am using

int id = fileAttachmentMapper.insertSelective(fileAttachment);

I am getting value of Id always 1 when new record is inserted. my Id field is auto incremented and records are inserting properly.

Solution 1

The id is injected in the object:

int num_of_record_inserted = fileAttachmentMapper.insertSelective(fileAttachment);

int id = fileAttachment.getId();

What selectKey does is to set the id in the object you are inserting, in this case in fileAttachment in its property id and AFTER record is inserted.

Solution 2

You only need to use

  <insert id="insert" parameterType="com.mycom.myproject.db.mybatis.model.FileAttachment" useGeneratedKeys="true" keyProperty="id" keyColumn="id"> 

There is no need of executing select query inside insert tag in MyBatis. It provides you new parameter for insert operation.Here define useGeneratedKeys="true", keyProperty="id", keyColumn="id".You can retrive value for id in following way

  FileAttachment fileAttachment=fileAttachmentMapper.insertSelective(fileAttachment);
  Integer id=fileAttachment.getId();

fileAttachment.getId() is used because in insert tag keyColumn="id" is define and you will get all return values inside fileAttachment reference of FileAttachment.

In fact, MyBatis has already provided this feature.You can use the option : "useGeneratedKeys" to get the last insert id.

Here is the explanation from MyBatis.(If you want to know more detailed info, you can go to MyBatis official page).

useGeneratedKeys (insert and update only) This tells MyBatis to use the JDBC getGeneratedKeys method to retrieve keys generated internally by the database (e.g. auto increment fields in RDBMS like MySQL or SQL Server). Default: false

If you are using xml:

<insert id="" parameterType="" useGeneratedKeys="true">

If you are using annotation:

@Insert("your sql goes here")
@Options(useGeneratedKeys = true, keyProperty = "id", keyColumn = "id")
int insert(FileAttachment fileAttachment) throws Exception;

Once you finish insert operation, the fileAttachment's setId() method will be invoked, and is set to id of last inserted record. You can use fileAttachment's getId() to get the last insert id.

I do hope this will help you.

Solution 4

I think the 1 that is being returned refers to the number of records that is updated/inserted. I think the id is set on the fileAttachment parameter that you passed to the call to insertSelective.

Thanks for response Ed, so then how can I get that Id?

I don't know, but I trust myBatis so I would say yes.
