MySql: Insert a row and get the content

Question

Is it possible to insert a row and get the values inserted in the same query?

Something like...

INSERT INTO `items` (`item`, `number`, `state`) 
(SEL         


        

Answer 1

if you are using php then

instead of this you can use

mysql_insert_id();

which will give the id of last inserted record.

The other data will be same as inserted. Only id will change which you can get by mysql_insert_id()

So you do not need to run second query.
