BUG#14553: NULL in WHERE resets LAST_INSERT_ID
To make MySQL compatible with some ODBC applications, you can find the AUTO_INCREMENT value for the last inserted row with the following query: SELECT * FROM tbl_name WHERE auto_col IS NULL. This is done with a special code that replaces 'auto_col IS NULL' with 'auto_col = LAST_INSERT_ID'. However this also resets the LAST_INSERT_ID to 0 as it uses it for a flag so as to ensure that only the first SELECT ... WHERE auto_col IS NULL after an INSERT has this special behaviour. In order to avoid resetting the LAST_INSERT_ID a special flag is introduced in the THD class. This flag is used to restrict the second and subsequent SELECTs instead of LAST_INSERT_ID.
