LAST_INSERT_ID returns values for the first inserted row, if you
insert many rows with one INSERT statement. LAST_INSERT_ID returns
last id that was generated on this connection. If you insert another
value than NULL or 0 to the auto_increment column, it doesn't change
LAST_INSERT_ID Please, check the manual. You can find description of
