I am new to SQL so bare with me here.

I have set up a contact database.  The PRIMANY KEY is person.per_id 
All the other tables REFERENCE the person.per_id key.  Now I want to be
able
to INSERT INTO the address table based on person.per_id by name without
having to know the value of person.per_id.  Something like, I know this
does not work
but you will get the idea of what I need.

INSERT INTO address 
(per_id,street,city,state,zip) 
VALUES ('('SELECT per_id FROM person WHERE first ='somename')','200 some
street',
'Tampa','FL','33654');  

Can somthing like this be done ?  Any help would be great.
