Python's equivalent of Java's statement.getGeneratedKeys()?

Question

Is there an API in Python's sqlite3 module similar to Java's statement.getGeneratedKeys()? If not, what is the best way to get recently autogenerated keys in Python with sqlite3?

Answer 1

You need to use the SQLite function last_insert_rowid() . From the SQLite documentation :

The last_insert_rowid() function returns the ROWID of the last row insert from the database connection which invoked the function. The last_insert_rowid() SQL function is a wrapper around the sqlite3_last_insert_rowid() C/C++ interface function
