A long time ago, I posted this query: >>If I use the auto-increment feature for a couple of normallized relations,
>>how do I insert into them? >>Specifically, when I insert into a relation with the autoincrement feature >>on the primary key, how do I get the value of the index on the newly created >>row so I can use that the value of a foreign key in another relation? > That's database specific, and you haven't specified a database. * In MySQL - mysql_insert_id() How do I call this function? I was hoping I could use SQL such as "SELECT mysql_insert_id() FROM XYZ" but I discovered that does not work. I'm using a mixture of java and perl. I see in my old documentation that PHP programmers can call such a function. Thanks, Siegfried
