I don't want any hole in my suite. I'm with version 3.23.38. My field is MEDIUMINT UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT.It' not an INDEX I' m little bit confuse with LAST_INSERT_ID() and the following instruction "DELETE FROM tbl_name WHERE 1>0". I think I could write a function by myself with "select count(*) from tbl_name..." but it may be not really optimized. What's the more easy and practice function to use? Thanks for tips. Ismaël.
