Re: LAST_INSERT_ID() AND UPDATE STATEMENTS

last_insert_id() has always been available after an INSERT to a table with auto_increment, no matter which version. Since UPDATE does not change the auto_increment value.

When you perform an UPDATE statement, you already know exactly which rows are updated since you provide the condition to choose the row using the WHERE clause in the update statement. There is no need to know the auto_increment value at all, use the same condition in a select to find the row. Of course, without transaction, the update and select may not get the same row if someone changes it in between your 2 statement.

A trick with user variable, if the update changes only 1 row, you can use this.
UPDATE table SET id=(@tempid:=id) , .... LIMIT 1;
SELECT @tempid;
This will not be affected by changes from other connections.
