Re: How to retrieve record-id after 'insert into'?
In order to retrieve the id you inserted and not someones's id that was inserted a bit after yours, I guess you should lock the table before your insert statement, do the insert, retrieve the id just inserted, and then unlock the table so others can operate with the table again. This is my guess... Anybody have another way???

Re: How to retrieve record-id after 'insert into'?
Did you take a look at the LAST_INSERT_ID() function I mentioned? G'luck, Peter -- This sentence no verb.

How to retrieve record-id after 'insert into'?
Hi! I like to know how to retrieve the record id after an insert into query. I have the table user containing two columns: UID (auto_increment) and USERNAME. After I have added a new user (using insert into user (uid) etc.) I like to know the UID of the new record. I can set the record pointer to the last record, but if anybody else also inserts a record at the same time, I think this will give a problem. Can anybody give me a suggestion? thanks in advance, Viktor v/d Berg - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?
