> TFM is your friend. What you are looking for is LAST_INSERT_ID() Or mysql_insert_id() in the client library – or the equivalent function that ought to be in any binding for another language. Speaking of LAST_INSERT_ID(), does anyone know how MySQL is supposed to process a statement like this:? insert into some_table (ref_field, other_field) values (last_insert_ID(), 1), (last_insert_ID(), 2); I've looked in the manual for details on which order that statement is processed in, but I haven't found an answer.
