   LAST_INSERT_ID([expr])
          Returns the last automatically generated value that was
          inserted into an AUTO_INCREMENT column. See section 8.1.3.130
          mysql_insert_id().

          The last ID that was generated is maintained in the server on a
          per-connection basis. It will not be changed by another client.
