Sort by that value.  For instance,

SELECT id FROM t ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1

will give you the biggest value of 'id' that can be found.  It's not needed in 
this case, but if you sort using a different field, make sure there's an index 
which allows quick sorting on that field.  It doesn't matter whether the index 
specifies that field as ASC or DESC.
