Re: how to execute a SET GLOBAL right after start of service?

[sebastian gomez]

my 3rd party product is ASP 3.0 (VBScript), so, writing microsoft is useless...

why haven't I "upgrade" to "last_insert_id"?
to a semi-bug in the ODBC connector ()

but the thing is: I don't think MySQL is gonna change their minds because of me, a not-so-popular combination of IIS+MySQL+ASP3, so, the real problem is, I can stay with 5.0 in some of my clients, but on one of those who are in a third-party hosting (not running by me -not in full control at least) are going to eventually crash, because they will upgrade sooner or later, and I won't have the root priviledge to execute SET GLOBAL queries.
and of course, I don't want to add a "SET SESSION" query in my thousands of query inserting rows in a table with an auto-increment column

* sigh *

and I thought all was well this morning when I woke up...
