Why not just:
SELECT MAX(id) AS max_id FROM yourtable;
Then run another select to get the record?
Or, if you want the last record:
SELECT * FROM yourtable ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1;
maybe.

But that will only work if it was the same thread that inserted the last
record in the table. If this is running from say .. a script that just
wants the last inserted record (highest ID) then it will not work
because LAST_INSERT_ID() will return 0.
