Insert into multiple tables using auto_increment reference

[Hamish Allan]

Hi,

Is it possible to insert values into two tables simultaneously and
have the value of one of the columns in the second table be the
auto_increment value from inserting into the first?

E.g. if table1 has an auto_increment column c1, the logic I'm looking
for would be something like:

INSERT INTO table1(c2, c3, c4), table2(c5, c6, c7) VALUES ('v1', 'v2',
'v3', table1.c1, 'v4', 'v5');

where table2.c5 is a reference to table1.c1.

Thanks,
Hamish

No, because you can only insert into one table at a time.  But you can write a 
stored
procedure to do this.


Thanks!
