Hello,

I have the following dilemma, that I do not know how to handle.

I have the need for a table where I create a identifier. The identifier 
consists of a two character string, eg: "UP" + the next "AUTO_INCREMENT" 
Here is what I have.

       category_id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,

Table should look like this:
UP000001
UP000002
UP000003

So the problem is, how can I grab the auto_increment number, then append the 
prefix while doing an insert?

Can anyone give me some advice on this problem?

Thanks,
Scott
