Well if you make MySQL select the next_id for you - what happens then if

are no records in the table? Will it then return 1 (if you say select
max(id)+1)

It ***should*** return null (that is, 1+null-->null). SQLAnywhere does (I
just tested it for you). But I don't know if MySQL acts correctly or not.
I don't have it installed. Just make a table with one column, don't
populate it, and try it out.
