How do I get the "id" after INSERT into MySQL database with Python?
Also, cursor.lastrowid (a dbapi/PEP249 extension supported by MySQLdb):
>>> import MySQLdb>>> connection = MySQLdb.connect(user='root')>>> cursor = connection.cursor()>>> cursor.execute('INSERT INTO sometable VALUES (...)')1L>>> connection.insert_id()3L>>> cursor.lastrowid3L>>> cursor.execute('SELECT last_insert_id()')1L>>> cursor.fetchone()(3L,)>>> cursor.execute('select @@identity')1L>>> cursor.fetchone()(3L,)cursor.lastrowid is somewhat cheaper than connection.insert_id() and much cheaper than another round trip to MySQL.
