MySQL: LAST_INSERT_ID() returns 0

Question

I\'ve got this test table:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `test` (
    `id` INT(10) AUTO_INCREMENT,
    PRIMARY KEY (`id         


        

Answer 1

Just my 50 cents for this issue, I simply noticed that you won't get a LAST_INSERT_ID greater than 0 if your table has no AUTO_INCREMENT set to an index.

I wasted about half hour on this. Turns out I keep getting a LAST_INSERT_ID() of 0, which for this table is actually ok.
