MySQL LAST_INSERT_ID() documentation says: "The last ID that was generated is maintained in the server on a per-connection basis. This means the value the function returns to a given client is the most recent AUTO_INCREMENT value generated by that client. The value cannot be affected by other clients, even if they generate AUTO_INCREMENT values of their own." Thus it should be the same. Anyway, I am against making this function obsolete. Jakub Vrana
