I was trying to avoid another flood of insert_id mails. It's simply: <some insert> @foo=(select @@identity) with that identity being inserted in a foreign key on each of the subsequent tables. I keep it in @foo, to avoid being clobbered by subsequent @@identities. > > Presumably you want something like > insert into table(f1, .. fn) values (v1, ... @foo, ..vn) I'll give that a whirl. I thought that I had to select the local variable. Hmm. I just tried it and I get: DBD::Sybase::db do failed: Server message number=137 severity=15 state=2 line=9 server=pelicanprocedure=DBD6atext=Must declare variable '@last_insert'. Thus, I'm assuming that @foo falls out of scope at some stage. Why? How? Please help? Cheers, R.
