DeX Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Hi guys, I have a system that does quotes for jobs for customers. The user inputs a customer's information and then the options they want on their building and it stores the quote in the database into a quote table. I have some questions regarding the best way to do this: 1. Should I enter the customer ID into the quote table or enter the quote ID into the customer table for reference? 2. Either way, how do I get that ID to enter into the reference table? I have the primary key ID set to auto_increment for both tables, how do I know what the ID is going to be so I can store it in the other table? 3. What's the best way to perform both of these SQL statements but not commit them until everything is okay? Thanks.
