Re: Copy auto-increment value to another column on insert

[William Chiquito]

Hi Larry,

An option is:

SELECT VERSION();

Result:

VERSION()          
-------------------
5.0.45-community-nt

CREATE TABLE `lritstsequence` (
  `idsequence` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`idsequence`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB;

CREATE TABLE `lritst` (
`id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
`bp_nr` decimal(10,0) default '0',
`descr` varchar(128) default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
UNIQUE KEY `dir1` (`bp_nr`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB;

DELIMITER $$

DROP TRIGGER /*!50032 IF EXISTS */ `lritst_bi_set_bp_nr`$$

CREATE TRIGGER `lritst_bi_set_bp_nr` BEFORE INSERT ON `lritst`
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
	DECLARE secuencia INT;
	INSERT INTO lritstsequence (idsequence) VALUES (NULL);
	SET secuencia = LAST_INSERT_ID();
	SET NEW.id = secuencia;
	SET NEW.bp_nr = secuencia;
END;$$

DELIMITER ;

INSERT INTO lritst (descr) VALUES ('test1');
INSERT INTO lritst (descr) VALUES ('test2');
INSERT INTO lritst (descr) VALUES ('test3');

SELECT * FROM lritst;

Result:

    id   bp_nr  descr 
------  ------  ------
     1       1  test1 
     2       2  test2 
     3       3  test3
