Question

I have this SQL query :

INSERT INTO db1.outbox (DestinationNumber, TextDecoded)
SELECT User.CellPhone, '$SMSMessage' as TextDecoded
FROM db2.User
WHERE User.PurchaseDate BETWEEN 2012-01-01 AND 2012-01-31

it does multiple rows insertion to ‘outbox’ table. and I can easily get the ID number of first row by using this query :

SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID()

and let’s say I have 532 as result from SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID() and I have 34 rows inserted.

how to use this 532 as initial number for other table named ‘outbox_multipart’ insertion and having it auto increment so the result will be like this :

+------+----------------+----------+----------------------------------+
| ID   | phonenumber    | outboxID | message                          |
+------+----------------+---------------------------------------------+
|                      ......                                         |
| 1025 | 555-123456     | 532      | part 2 : hello there!            |
| 1026 | 555-999999     | 533      | part 2 : hello there!            |
| 1027 | 555-888888     | 534      | part 2 : hello there!            |
|                                                                     |
|               ...... 34 rows inserted here .......                  |
|                                                                     |
+------+----------------+---------------------------------------------+ 

please note that outboxID column isn’t auto increment column. but it must have auto increment number from 532 + 34 rows = 566.

Answer 1

Try with this

ALTER TABLE outbox_multipart AUTO_INCREMENT = 532;

it will increments from the 532,

and remember that the “outboxID” should also be in auto increment initially
