I don't know about MySQL, but if it's anything like every other DBMS, it returns an object ID when you do an insert. The object id can be used to get the primary key. Luis Cortes wrote:
Hello,
Has anyone run into this problem: I have created a table with an auto_increment id. I want to be able to get the new id without having to do another query. Does someone know how to do this with Mysql?
I.E.
create table test( id NOT NULL auto_increment, name char(20))
insert into table test (name) values ("first");
> at this point I would like to get the id assigned to first without doing a select id from test where name ="first" is there a way to do this????
Thanks, Luis.
