The simplest way is to execute a SELECT just after the insertion, doing a SELECT pin FROM counters WHERE page = %s I don't use MySQL, so I can't say if it supports "INSERT ... RETURNING ..." SQL syntax: should it, then you could insert the data and fetch the pin in one shot, with something like INSERT INTO counters (page, hits) VALUES (%s, %s) RETURNING (pin) ciao, lele. -- nickname: Lele Gaifax | Quando vivrò di quello che ho pensato ieri real: Emanuele Gaifas | comincerò ad aver paura di chi mi copia. l...@metapensiero.it | -- Fortunato Depero, 1929. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
