Aaah, clunk - it was that <dtml-var sql_delimiter> that I 
was missing. Works a treat and Anthony's description becomes
clear. Thank you very much, Jim.

Just for the record (no pun intended), the MySQL equivalent 
is then a rather simple :

insert into data1 (name) values ('George Smith');
<dtml-var sql_delimiter>
select last_insert_id()

(Not certain if it requires the ugly patch to db.py in ZMySQLDA,
as per previous email, but certainly works with it)
