Hi everyone,

I'm puzzled why Example 1 below where I obtain the last insert id from a single insert works but Example 2 where I try to obtain two last insert ids from two different inserts doesn't:

Example 1: 
    $dbh->{RaiseError} = 1;
    $dbh->begin_work;
    eval {
        $dbh->do(qq~INSERT INTO table1 VALUES(?, ?)~, undef, undef, "s
+omevalue");
        my $last_id = $dbh->last_insert_id(undef, undef, qw(table1 id)
+);
        $dbh->do(qq~INSERT INTO table3 VALUES(?, ?)~, undef, undef, $l
+ast_id);

    };
    if ($@) {
        eval { 
            $dbh->rollback();
        };
    }
    $dbh->commit();

Example 2: 
    $dbh->{RaiseError} = 1;
    $dbh->begin_work;
    eval {
        $dbh->do(qq~INSERT INTO table1 VALUES(?, ?)~, undef, undef, "s
+omevalue});
        my $last_id = $dbh->last_insert_id(undef, undef, qw(table1 id)
+);
        $dbh->do(qq~INSERT INTO table2 VALUES(?, ?)~, undef, undef, $s
+omevalue);
        my $last_id2 = $dbh->last_insert_id(undef, undef, qw(table2 id
+));
        $dbh->do(qq~INSERT INTO table3 VALUES(?, ?, ?)~, undef, undef,
+ $last_id, $last_id2);

    };
    if ($@) {
        eval { 
            $dbh->rollback();
        };
    }
    $dbh->commit();

In Example 1, the mysql transaction is commited but in Example 2, it's rolled backed. Is it possible to obtain more than one last insert id?
