I have a table TIMECARDBATCH which has an identity column as its primary
key. Now i have an INSERT statement which I want to execute and then get the
key generated for the new row. So what I did is :

String sqlStatement = "INSERT INTO TIMECARDBATCH ( name, desc ) VALUES (
'TOR', 'Toronto' )";
slqStatement += " SELECT @@IDENTITY";

Connection cx = null;
Statement stmt = null;
ResultSet rs = null;
int intReturnValue = -1;

try {
cx.prepareCall( sqlStatement );
stmt.execute();
rs = stmt.getResultSet();
if (rs != null) {
rs.next();
intReturnValue = rs.getInt(1);
}
}...

Whats happening is that I am getting rs as null. As a result I cant get the
identity generated. Any reason why this is happening?
