AUTO_INCREMENT guarantees that it will not assign the same number twice.
That's about all it is willing to guarantee.
With InnoDB, if a transaction starts, uses an auto_inc value, then rolls back,
that id is lost.
When you have multiple threads loading data into the same table, diff values of
innodb_autoinc_lock_mode give you diff tradeoff between speed and
predictability. If replication is involved, you want predictability.
InnoDB and MyISAM act differently, especially after recovering from a crash.
If you DELETE the _highest_ id, then restart the server, that id will be
reused. (This is irritating to some people.) Otherwise, a deleted id will not
be reused.
There may be more. Most of those are covered here:
