Insert of a single row in mysql cause row duplication?

Interesting, this would hint that MySQL updates the AUTO_INCREMENT value even when nothing is actually being inserted.

In the end this turned out being a MySQL bug in dealing with AUTO_INCREMENT generation when the ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE clause was used: even if the INSERT hits a unique key, and gets "converted" to an UPDATE, the AUTO_INCREMENT would still be incremented.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
