Hello,
I have a database that has 4 tables

Reseller
BusinessName
Address
County

I also have an html put form which is an almagamation of all the fields
from these tables and am trying to write the sql which will allow me to
put this data into the database, in particular I am unsure as to howto
pass the sequence id from business_name to the business_address_1 FOREIGN
KEY, perhaps I'll need to do it using 4 different sql statements?

Any advice will be very much appreciated

Tahnks

Norman
