Does mysql last_insert_id() work for connection pool?

Question

I have a auto increment column of type bigint. Calling mysql_insert_id() works good for getting the previously inserted id for the connection. Does it work great(identifying the last inserted id) even if a connection pool in a tomcat container is used ?

Answer 1

Don't use database specific code like that, it'll only make your code less portable. Instead use the Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS option when executing an update.
