Take away the outer parentheses:
insert into lexique values
('0','handicape','personne non valide', '1999-01-01'),
('1','tt','bla bla', '');

No. If you insert NULL into an auto_increment column, it will
generate the new value. So, the correct way to use an
auto_increment colum is to explicitly insert NULL or to not
name the column in the column list.
Can you suggest how we could make the manual descriptions of
these items more clear? Both of these questions are fully
covered in the manual.
Thanks,
