[linux] RE: Last record in table

[Gogala, Mladen]

There is no such thing as the last record of a table. Table data are not
ordered in
any particular way. Think RDBMS, not file system.

Hi all,
After inserting a record I'm trying to retrieve the last record in a
table(that would be the one I just inserted), so I can use one of its
values in another insert.
Is there a simple way to do it?
How can I lock the database so that nothing is done between that first
insert and the select?
Thanks for any help,
Pedro.
