So I'm thinking "how do I get something like VFP's old NextKey generation"
akin to this:

FUNCTION GetNextKey(tcTable as String) as Integer

In the same insert statement you append ; select last_insert_id() ; and it returns YOUR value no matter what type of data column the key is. If you do some super fancy secondary select someone else may have gotten an insert
in as well and your code returns their key, not yours.


Ah, I see it now. Sorry, I thought you were in SQL Server land with your answer. Yes, that's MySQL. So that should work, right? Or can this fail somehow if others are inserting simultaneously?
