#84 — Getting a Batch Number

Dear SQLers:

     I now want to put together a simple database.  I thought that I
would try something that modelled the way I do banking.  I can have
multiple set-asides in one bank account.  I might write a cheque off
one account that is to put money in more than one set-aside.  (Or I
might transfer; it amounts to the same.)  For example:

          cheque for $500 from Income account to Savings Account
split:
               Reserves $200, Income Tax Set-Aside $300.

     This gives me a transaction batch of:

          insert into Batches 'Sample Batch'
           (with an id column value automatically generated)

          insert into Transactions '20110331','Income',-500
          insert into Transactions '20110331','Reserves',200
          insert into Transactions '20110331','Income Tax S/A',200

     How do I get the batch number from Batches to use in the
Transactions inserts?

Sincerely,

Gene Wirchenko

     Thank you for the magic word.  I am now working my way through a
tutorial I found.

Sincerely,
