Regardless of how it works under the hood, if I set an attribute to $x, then ask for that attribute back, I should get $x, unless the docs indicate that the given attribute does something based on $x.

Plus, in looking under the hood, DBD::Mock::db::STORE() calls to SUPER::STORE if it doesn't know about the attribute. From what I can discern (and from what I think DBI::DBD says), the attribute and value should be stored in the tied hash.

Now, an interesting possibility to add to DBD::Mock would be an 'is_mocking' attribute in the connection parameters. So, I might want to say something like: 

my $dbh = DBI->connect( 'dbi:Mock:is_mocking=mysql', '', '' ) or die $
+DBI::errstr;

And, there would be a DBD::Mock::mysql that would do the right thing with mysql_insertid (or DBD::Mock::Oracle with an ora_* attribute, etc.)

I shouldn't have to say this, but any code, unless otherwise stated, is untested
