I expect a straight "no" on this one, but is there a way to select from the inserted table, without making a stored procedure? The reason I ask is I'm inserting a record into a table, via SQL pass-through (or ad-hoc SQL) ( i.e. Insert TableName ({TableFields}) Values ({TableValues}) ). And I'd like to retrieve the ID that was auto-generated due to the insert statement. But I don't wish to create a stored proc for this task. I'd appreciate any help.

Thank you.

Maybe I'm not following you, but why can't you just use SCOPE_IDENTITY() to get ID after the insert?

I'd be more concerned as to your objection to using a StoredProcedure.

SP's are considered part of "best practice" from performance, security and code maintainability standpoints.

I don't think you will get an ID from table Inserted without writing trigger
.This table is used in temp database before writing anything in Datafile during transaction.

why do you think you cant use SCOPE_IDENTITY to get last inserted id as suggested by Lamprey?

I didn't use SCOPE_IDENTITY() because I was not aware such a command existed. In hindsight, I probably should've realized the @@IDENTITY command has a cousin. And I have no problem with using SPs; I was curious if there were other means to retrieve data from the inserted table. It worked, though, so thank you!!! This helps quite a bit!
