Old thread but just looked into this, so here goes: if you are using InnoDB on a recent version of MySQL, you can get the list of IDs using LAST_INSERT_ID()
and ROW_COUNT()
.
InnoDB guarantees sequential numbers for AUTO INCREMENT when doing bulk inserts, provided innodb_autoinc_lock_mode
is set to 0 (traditional) or 1 (consecutive).
Consequently you can get the first ID from LAST_INSERT_ID()
and the last by adding ROW_COUNT()-1
.
