Oracle's RETURNING INTO :variable equivalent using SQL Server

Question

I have the following code that works on Oracle:

OracleCommand command = conn.CreateCommand(); // conn is my connection

string sql = "INSERT INTO table_name (ID, NAME, GENDER) VALUES (1, 'JOHN', 'M') RETURNING ID INTO :returnedId";

command.CommandText = sql;
command.Parameters.Add(new OracleParameter("returnedId", OracleDbType.Decimal));
command.ExecuteNoQuery();

I need to port that to SQL Server. This is what I'm doing:

SqlCommand command = conn.CreateCommand(); // conn is my connection

string sql = "INSERT INTO table_name (Id, Name, Gender) OUTPUT Inserted.Id As returnedId VALUES (1, "JOHN", "M")";

command.CommandText = sql;
command.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("returnedId", SqlDbType.Decimal));
command.ExecuteNoQuery();

That code gives me the following error:

the parameterized query expects the parameter which was not supplied: @returnedId

What's the correct way to migrate the RETURNING and the :returnedId clauses from Oracle to SQL Server ?

I've tried OUTPUT Inserted.Id As @returnedId as well as changing the SqlParameter to "@returnedId" with no success.

Answer 1

OUTPUT is SQL Server's equivalent to RETURNING INTO.

INSERT INTO table_name (ID, NAME, GENDER) 
OUTPUT INSERTED.ID 
VALUES (1, 'JOHN', 'M') ;

And C# :

Int32 outputID = (Int32)command.ExecuteScalar();
