How to get primary key value (auto-generated keys) from inserted queries using JDBC?


Description:

When we are inserting a record into the database table and the primary key is an auto-increment or auto-generated key, then the insert query will generate it dynamically. The below example shows how to get this key after insert statement. After perfoming executeUpdate() method on PreparedStatement, call getGeneratedKeys() method on PreparedStatement. It will return you ResultSet, from which you can get auto increment column values.


Code:
package com.java2novice.jdbc;

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Statement;

public class MyAutoGeneratedKeys {

	public static void main(String a[]){
		
		Connection con = null;
		PreparedStatement pstmt = null;
		ResultSet rs = null;
		try {
			Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
			con = DriverManager.
				getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@<hostname>:<port num>:<DB name>"
					,"user","password");
			String query = "insert into emps (name, dept, salary) values (?,?,?)";
			pstmt = con.prepareStatement(query,Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS);
			pstmt.setString(1, "John");
			pstmt.setString(2, "Acc Dept");
			pstmt.setInt(3, 10000);
			pstmt.executeUpdate();
			rs = pstmt.getGeneratedKeys();
			if(rs != null && rs.next()){
				System.out.println("Generated Emp Id: "+rs.getInt(1));
			}

		} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		} catch (SQLException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		} finally{
			try{
				if(rs != null) rs.close();
				if(pstmt != null) pstmt.close();
				if(con != null) con.close();
			} catch(Exception ex){}
		}
	}

What is java static import?
By using static imports, we can import the static members from a class rather than the classes from a given package. For example, Thread class has static sleep method, below example gives an idea:

import static java.lang.Thread;
public class MyStaticImportTest {
public static void main(String[] a) {
try{
sleep(100);
} catch(Exception ex){

}
}
}
