Add RETURNING to INSERT

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      Please add a RETURNING option to INSERT.

      Example from PostgreSQL

      postgres=# CREATE TABLE t1 (id SERIAL, name VARCHAR(100));
      CREATE TABLE
      postgres=# INSERT INTO t1(name) VALUES('test') RETURNING id;
       id 
      ----
        1
      (1 row)
       
      INSERT 0 1
      

      Inspired by: https://evertpot.com/writing-sql-for-postgres-mysql-sqlite/

      This could make it easier to write statements which work with both MariaDB and PostgreSQL. And this might improve compatibility with Oracle RDBMS.


      How it'll work:

      • All variants of INSERT will work — INSERT ... VALUES, INSERT ... SET, INSERT ... SELECT
      • INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE will work, will return the final row values (inserted or updated)
      • REPLACE will return what's inserted
      • INSERT IGNORE will return what it'll try to insert, (ignoring insert errors, as expected)
      • INSERT DELAYED will, obviously, not work
      • rows will be returned as they're being inserted. If the insert fails in the middle and is rolled back — rows might've been sent that didn't end up in the table
