I'm not going to address these comments to anyone - in an attempt to avoid
inter-personal conflict...
Herewith some psychology and philosophy:
- some people can't be bothered to read the manual
- writing a (good/complete) manual is even harder than reading it

Before posting, please check:
SELECT MAX(id) FROM table;
will get you the highest value for 'id', that +1 will be the 'next' value,
until someone inserts a new row into that table.

You can't find out what it *will be* until you actually create the record.
Then you get
Not _necessarily_ true, surely, if there's another transaction active at
the moment (assuming you are using a table that supports transactions)...?

Which may already have happened between the time you created your record
and the time you issue
assuming id is the auto incremnt field.

This result will be invalid when the a new row is written to the table,
whether it's part of a transaction or not, no matter what the table type.
I said as much, but perhaps I was a bit too cryptic.
Generally speaking, getting this value reliably while other work is
going on is only possible if
Of course, if you do LAST_INSERT_ID, then try to use the value while someone
else is doing an insert, you're in the same boat. Neither method is reliable
without a lock.

This is not correct. The LAST_INSERT_ID() function return the last inserted

That's incorrect. LAST_INSERT_ID() is client-specific,
other clients can't

Other people do know how to read manuals, Paul.
If the original poster made any assumptions about the NEXT value in the
auto increment field based on the value of LAST_INSERT_ID, that assumed
value will be invalid the second another row is written to the table.
If I did this:
