It all depends on what "[the] most recent statement" means – or "the last INSERT or UPDATE query" in the part Gleb quoted. When I do this: insert into child (parent_ID, value) values (last_insert_ID(), 'b1'), (last_insert_ID(), 'b2'), (last_insert_ID(), 'b3'); is that one statement, or three? I think all of it, from "insert" to the semicolon, is a single statement. Do you mean that "(last_insert_ID(), 'b2')" is a statement on its own?
