Hi, This is a SQL query for the advanced db gurus among you (I'm looking at Kent...)
After I've run an insert statement, should I get the new primary key (it's autoincrementing) by using PySQLite's cursor.lastrowid in a select statement, or is there a more SQLish way to do this? In the SQL books I've got, they always seem to have an optional select statement on the end of inserts/updates, and I was thinking maybe I could do it that way also, but I can't figure out a logical way of putting 'select primary_key from foo where primary_key value > every other primary_key value' into SQL parlance. I figure this would be a safe way of doing it, as the primary key is going to autoincrement ever upwards. Just don't know if I can do it. I'm trying to avoid firing off a select statement filled with the exact same info as I just inserted/updated, as the only unique column in my tables is the primary key. Any assistance that can be rendered, would be gratefully accepted. Regards, Liam Clarke -- 'There is only one basic human right, and that is to do as you damn well please.
