LAST_INSERT_ID() MySQL

Question

I have a MySQL question that I think must be quite easy. I need to return the LAST INSERTED ID from table1 when I run the following MySql query:

INSERT INTO          


        

Answer 1

This enables you to insert a row into 2 different tables and creates a reference to both tables too.

START TRANSACTION;
INSERT INTO accounttable(account_username) 
    VALUES('AnAccountName');
INSERT INTO profiletable(profile_account_id) 
    VALUES ((SELECT account_id FROM accounttable WHERE account_username='AnAccountName'));
    SET @profile_id = LAST_INSERT_ID(); 
UPDATE accounttable SET `account_profile_id` = @profile_id;
COMMIT;

Answer 2

It would be possible to save the last_id_in_table1 variable into a php variable to use it later?

With this last_id I need to attach some records in another table with this last_id, so I need:

1) Do an INSERT and get the last_id_in_table1

INSERT into Table1(name) values ("AAA"); 
SET @last_id_in_table1 = LAST_INSERT_ID();

2) For any indeterminated rows in another table, UPDATING these rows with the last_id_insert generated in the insert.

$element = array(some ids)    
foreach ($element as $e){ 
         UPDATE Table2 SET column1 = @last_id_in_table1 WHERE id = $e 
    }

Answer 3

For no InnoDB solution: you can use a procedure don't forgot to set the delimiter for storing the procedure with ;

CREATE PROCEDURE myproc(OUT id INT, IN otherid INT, IN title VARCHAR(255))
BEGIN
LOCK TABLES `table1` WRITE;
INSERT INTO `table1` ( `title` ) VALUES ( @title ); 
SET @id = LAST_INSERT_ID();
UNLOCK TABLES;
INSERT INTO `table2` ( `parentid`, `otherid`, `userid` ) VALUES (@id, @otherid, 1); 
END

And you can use it...

SET @myid;
CALL myproc( @myid, 1, "my title" );
SELECT @myid;

Answer 4

For last and second last:

INSERT INTO `t_parent_user`(`u_id`, `p_id`) VALUES ((SELECT MAX(u_id-1) FROM user) ,(SELECT MAX(u_id) FROM user  ) );

Answer 5

We only have one person entering records, so I execute the following query immediately following the insert:

$result = $conn->query("SELECT * FROM corex ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1");

while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {

            $id = $row['id'];

}

This retrieves the last id from the database.
