After doing an INSERT, you may do
SELECT last_insert_id();
and it will return the last id the last INSERT command used. it doesn't matter if your
MySQL server is very busy doing inserts, if
you call 'SELECT last_insert_id()' right after the INSERT, you will get the correct
value. last_insert_id() returns the last insert
ID of that connection ID, so you will get the correct values.

Subject: INSERT question...
Hi-o! I was wondering if it's possible when inserting a value into a table
that has an auto_increment field to have MySQL return the value of the
auto_increment field right after doing the insert, w/out having to run a
seperate query?
For example if I had a table with two collums, ID and name. Where ID is an
int field with auto_increment set, and is the primary key. and name is
just a varchar. and did this:
INSERT INTO some_table (name) VALUES("bob");
I'd like for the query to return the value for ID that was just assigned.
Is there a way to do this all in one SQL statement?
Thanks in advance!
