You have been using mySQL for 15 years now and you don't know about this? hahahahha
Well the documentation says that when you append it to your insert statement you get THAT PKEY value even in multi insert conditions to the same table by others. Think of EBAY and last seconds of an auction with a few to a few hundred bids coming in. If you are inserting and then doing a separate statement with the same spid you should get your insert pkey but if you have done multiple inserts which one are you getting? You should experiment with some of these methods. http://www.mysqltutorial.org/mysql-stored-procedure-tutorial.aspx I had to laugh at the causal warnings about getting too fancy in your sprocs. Glad the don't like at mine. hahahahaha.
