How to Get Id of Inserted Record via Apex [closed]

Question

How can I get the Id of a record which has been inserted using Apex?

Answer 1

The platform allocates an ID value and sets it in an SObject's ID field implicitly as part of the insert operation:

Account a  = new Account(Name = 'Acme');
// a.Id is null here

insert a;
// a.Id now has a value set by the platform

Fields are accessed using just a dot and the field name; there isn't a corresponding getId() method. (The generic field get method does work for 'Id'.)

So most of the time you do not assign a value to an object's ID field. An exception is where you have the ID of the object (perhaps from a lookup field on a different object) and want to update the object. In that case you can assign the ID and so save having to first query the object:

Account a = new Account(Id = accountId, Name = 'New Name');
update a;

Answer 2

If you are using statement like "insert account;", the Id of the account can be accessed by "account.Id;". Below code will give you an overview.

Account acct = new Account(Name='SFDC Account');
insert acct;

system.debug("Inserted Account Id = "+acct.Id);

acct.Id will provide the Id for the Account record acct.The debug statement above will write the Id to the Debug logs.

Answer 3

Account acct = new Account();
acct.put('Name', 'Test');
Id AccountId;

Database.SaveResult[] srList = Database.insert(acct);

for (Database.SaveResult sr : srList)
{
    AccountId = sr.getId();
}

System.debug(AccountId);
