Question

I’m wanting to insert a row and increment a value in all other rows after. Is there a way to do this in a single sql insert?

id |  value
------------
a  |  0
b  |  1
c  |  2

Inserting d | 2 should make the DB look like this:

id |  value
------------
a  |  0
b  |  1
d  |  2
c  |  3

I agree with George Vremescu. AFTER INSERT TRIGGER sounds like the way to go.

CREATE TRIGGER <triggername> AFTER  
INSERT ON <tablename> WHEN 
(
   -- Update logic here
)

To get the last inserted row ID you should use last_insert_row().
