+7Hi,
I am writing to a Non spacial SQL Database, using a FeatureWriter.
When INSERTing new rows in the table, a UniqueID is created by SQL database.
Is there a way to retrieve that UniqueID after INSERT completed sucessfully ?
I would need the UniqueID for the next step of my Workbench.
I do a SQL Executor to select the last inserted row, it will work, but, if multiple rows are inserted simultaneously, there is a chance that I won't get the right UniqueID.
Any Idea ?
Thank you.

The way I do this is to create and write an attribute with an id (UUIDGenerator) and then use a FeatureReader with a where clause on this attribute to read back the feature. FeatureWriter can be configured to have an outputport for each FeatureType.
@mlupien If possible, I think I might turn the problem around and use something like SQLCreator to get the current identity:
SELECT IDENT_CURRENT ('Person.Address') AS Current_Identity;then start reading with FeatureReader and use FME Counter to add your own unique ID starting at the Current_Identity value. If you have to query back for each record to get the ID you're going see a big performance degradation.

Unfortunately, in this case, it won't be a solution because we only process 1 feature each time. I'll go with nielsgerrits suggestion.
Thank you anyways for your reply :)
