SCOPE_IDENTITY within JDBC Connection?

[Legacy User]

I am trying to insert data into a JDBC connection, which works as expected... however I'd like to ensure it returns the ID of the autogenerated primary key. 

 

When I run the following query in SQL Server directly, it works as expected - however I have been unable to emulate this behavior within the API gateway. 

 

Has anybody accomplished returning the data resulting from the insert, or is there another way I should be attempting this? 

 

Example Query

INSERT INTO [***].[testDatabase]
([firstName]
,[lastName])
SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY() AS newID;

 

Assertion Details

 

XML Results: (this also seems strange as I specify to Fail assertion if no results return.

It appears that having a SELECT query in the same assertion as the INSERT query will never return any data - even with a SELECT *.

 

I was able to find a workaround by doing the following: 

 

1. Create a uuid and store as ${uuid}
2. JDBC Insert Query with ${uuid} stored in the table as a value
3.  JDBC SELECT query WHERE uuid = ${uuid}. 

 

I'm hoping there is a better method, but that's as good as I could get.
