How do I get the ID of multiple inserted rows in MySQL?

Question

I am inserting some words into a two-column table with this command:

INSERT IGNORE INTO terms (term) VALUES (\'word1\'), (\'word2\'), (\'word3\');
         


        

Answer 1

Why not just:

SELECT ID
  FROM terms
 WHERE term IN ('word1', 'word2', 'word3')
