    The last_insert_id() call is simply a wrapper around a "select @@ident
    +ity" query. To be successful (i.e. to return the correct value) this 
    +must be executed on the same connection as the INSERT that generated 
    +the new IDENTITY value. Therefore the statement handle that was used 
    +to perform the insert must have been closed/freed before last_insert_
    +id() can be called. Otherwise last_insert_id() will be forced to open
    + a different connection to perform the query, and will return an inva
    +lid value (usually in this case it will return 0).
