Here it is in a nutshell:
I have a field that needs to be set equal to the auto-increment ID as a record is entered. I don’t know how to do this without a subsequent UPDATE (which I can do with a trigger). Is there any way to avoid the cost of an UPDATE? Here’s a more concrete description of the problem: CREATE TABLE t ( id INT(11) AUTO-INCREMENT PRIMARY, xxx INT(11) ); When a record is added to table `t`, I need to set `xxx` to the value generated for `id`. (`xxx` might be changed later.) Is there anything clever I can do?
