How to insert multiple records in multiple tables with stored procedure

Question

I have table called

table:ITEMS
fields:itemid->pk
address
location
title

CATEGORY
catid->pk
categoryname

CATEGORY_VALUE
catvalid->pk
itemid->fk (ITEMS)
catid->fk (CATEGORY)
catval

i insert data into items table and category table is filled with predefined values which can be increased later on.

now when i insert data in items table i also have to insert data in category_value table.

I can implement this using MAX function on ID of items table then again execute insert query on category_value table

but i want to use stored procedure which completely performs this task.

is there a direct function in sql server which can fetch the latest inserted record and store it in some local variable and then i can write insert query
.

No, MAX and such things might mislead you in production environments since there is also something called transaction. If your primary keys are identities[^], you can use SCOPE_IDENTITY[^] and IDENT_CURRENT[^] to get the latest identity generated on a table or in a scope. You probably will need the scope version, since the procedure execution is not atomic.
Read this short article: http://blog.sqlauthority.com/2007/03/25/sql-server-identity-vs-scope_identity-vs-ident_current-retrieve-last-inserted-identity-of-record/[^].

If your primary keys are not identity fields, than you will have to use locks and other fancy things - which I don't recommend.

In SQL Server 2012 there is at last implemented the SEQUENCE[^] object, which is part of the SQL standard for a very long time...
