Hi I need a sql statement that will insert a new record into a mysql database and return the Primary key for that record which is an auto incrementing number. Thanks

Something like this will work with MySQL ..

INSERT INTO myTable (fieldA,fieldB,fieldC) VALUES (3,4,5)

SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID()

The last_insert_id will return the last id generated on the current connection.
