Python + SQLAlchemy

after commit, you get the primary_key column id (autoincremeted) updated in your object.

db.session.add(new_usr)
db.session.commit() #will insert the new_usr data into database AND retrieve id
idd = new_usr.usrID # usrID is the autoincremented primary_key column. 
return jsonify(idd),201 #usrID = 12, correct id from table User in Database.
