LAST_INSERT_ID() MySQL

Question

I have a MySQL question that I think must be quite easy. I need to return the LAST INSERTED ID from table1 when I run the following MySql query:

INSERT INTO          


        

Answer 1

This enables you to insert a row into 2 different tables and creates a reference to both tables too.

START TRANSACTION;
INSERT INTO accounttable(account_username) 
    VALUES('AnAccountName');
INSERT INTO profiletable(profile_account_id) 
    VALUES ((SELECT account_id FROM accounttable WHERE account_username='AnAccountName'));
    SET @profile_id = LAST_INSERT_ID(); 
UPDATE accounttable SET `account_profile_id` = @profile_id;
COMMIT;
