Invalid cast when returning mysql LAST_INSERT_ID() using dapper.net

Question

This question has been covered for MSSQL here:

How do I perform an insert and return inserted identity with Dapper?

but this solution does not work with mysql.

To cast the LAST_INSERT_ID() to integer with mysql you have to do this:

SELECT CAST(LAST_INSERT_ID() AS UNSIGNED INTEGER);

The stack trace is:

Dapper.<QueryInternal>d__13`1.MoveNext() in sqlMapper.cs:607
   System.Collections.Generic.List`1..ctor(IEnumerable`1 collection) +159
   System.Linq.Enumerable.ToList(IEnumerable`1 source) +36
   Dapper.SqlMapper.Query(IDbConnection cnn, String sql, Object param, IDbTransaction transaction, Boolean buffered, Nullable`1 commandTimeout, Nullable`1 commandType) in sqlMapper.cs:535

Has anyone resolved this issue in MySQL?

EDIT:

I've managed to make this work with the following:

var id = connection.Query<ulong>("SELECT CAST(LAST_INSERT_ID() AS UNSIGNED INTEGER);").Single();

Perhaps not ideal, but it works.

I can actually shed some additional light on this because I just spent the last hour wondering why my SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID() query worked on one MySQL server but not another. One server is running MySQL 5.5.11 (production) and the other 5.5.31 (local dev).

Prior to versions 5.1.67, 5.5.29 and 5.6.9 (in each respective release) LAST_INSERT_ID() used to return a signed integer.

Now LAST_INSERT_ID() returns an unsigned BIGINT which meant this code which worked on my 5.5.31 server worked:

var id = cn.Query<ulong>("SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID();").First();

...but is broken when executed against the older 5.5.11 server.

It's documented here:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/information-functions.html#function_last-insert-id

The value has a type of BIGINT UNSIGNED as of MySQL 5.5.29, BIGINT (signed) before that.

My initial solution was to cast the result of LAST_INSERT_ID() to an unsigned BIGINT to make the code portable across both these server versions but (surprise, surprise) the MySQL team added a roadblock.

You can't cast LAST_INSERT_ID() directly to an unsigned (or even signed) BIGINT using the CAST() function because it's not supported. The only integer types you can cast to are SIGNED INTEGER and UNSIGNED INTEGER . This is a pain because if for whatever reason you really need an auto incrementing BIGINT id which increments past 4294967295 then an unsigned integer won't be a large enough type to cast to.

使用Convert.ToInt64(value)为我解决了这个问题。
