Getting the last database identifier - El Forum - 02-02-2008

Hi, I was wondering whether it was possible with active query to get the last id that was generated after a new record has been entered into the database.
So basically I've got something like this:
$this->obj_model->add($data);
// need to get unique id from previous command to update a value in $otherdata
$this->otherobj_model->add($otherdata);
the add() methods just calls a $this->db->insert command.

Have a look at the user guide:

should be:
Code:
$this->db->insert_id()Getting the last database identifier - El Forum - 02-02-2008

cool thanks
so would I just call that once I've called the first add() method?
