I don't know if you can, but you shouldn't want to try... :)
Unless you have a single user application, the future value of any field can
not be determined, unless you introduce locking and thereby a bottleneck.
Use LAST_INSERT_ID() _after_ the insertion has been done. That is the
easiest and safest way to get the correct key.
