A programmer just asked me about a possible race condition, and I didn't know what to answer:
If I insert a line using autoincrement, then ask for last_insert_id() am I guaranteed to get the same ID I just inserted? It seems that another program could be inserting at almost the same time, and could increment the counter again before my last_insert_id() checks it. In that case, I would not be dealing with the same line I just inserted. Does anyone know if this is a genuine concern? If it is, can anyone think of a workaround?
