Jonas,
After the insert, execute
SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID();
This always gives the last auto increment value generated by your database
connection.

If you mean use a primary key to create a unique record
regardless of the other data in the row, I've already done
that. However I'm using that primary key as a means of
creating a relationship with another table.
What I don't want, is the same category name and
customerID twice,
Use an index.
