Here are my tables:

-------------------------------
Events
-------------------------------
ID | E_EventName
-------------------------------


-------------------------------
Photos
-------------------------------
ID | P_EventID | P_Filename
-------------------------------



Given an event like "2005 cookout", and a file like "bob.jpg", I'd like to insert the event id based on the event name and the filename into Photos. How can I do that?

insert into Photos (ID, P_EventID, P_Filename)
select yourId, E.id, 'bob.jpg'
from Events E
where E_EventName = '2005 cookout'


chage yourId to the id you ned or remove it if it's auto created
