Agreed, however, my question was, is "@@IDENTITY" recognized by mySQL, I
just need to create something that can be easily convertible from MS-SQL to
mySQL, etc. and so each difference needs to be documented.

LAST_INSERT_ID() is similar. It will give you the value for autoincrement
fields. Note that this is connection dependent ( so your last_insert_id() is
not the same as my last_insert_id() ). You would do something like this:
INSERT INTO tablex ( columnx ) VALUES ( 'valuex' );
INSERT INTO tabley ( tablex_id, columny ) VALUES ( LAST_INSERT_ID(),
'valuey' );
There are some caveats, of course, so check the great online documentation
at www.mysql.com/docs. Search for autoincrement or last_insert_id()
