Return ID if record already exist?

I looked everywhere (Google, manual, etc.) but can't find an answer to this
question.

If I do a "INSERT IGNORE INTO" query into a UNIQUE field and the word I'm
trying to insert already exists, can I get the ID of that existing record
returned so I can use it in the rest of the query?

Hello all, Form A & Form B Form B opens when I click on a button from Form A. How do I setup Form B so it will always let me insert new records. Because right know, when I click on the button from Form A to Form B (onClickEvent), Form B will open and show all the records that the table has. So I need to click on the navigation button (buttom of the form) and insert a new record.

Hi - I have been struggling with solution ideas for this now for almost 2 weeks, and have not been able to figure this out. I have a user who creates a Purchase Order (tblPOData). In some circumstances, this or another user must create an invoice to go with the PO (I know - that makes no sense, but this is the business case). I have the user go to a form to create the invoice:

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
