Retrieve id of record just inserted into a Java DB (Derby) database?

No need to use a DBMS specific SQL for that.

You may be able to get what you're looking for using the IDENTITTY_VAL_LOCAL function. (Derby Reference).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
