# Insert user_id

 * I’m trying to INSERT the current_user into a separate db for future querying.
   I want it to insert into the most recent entry – ie. INSERT_LAST_ID().. but it’s
   not working with an INSERT query using WHERE=INSERT_LAST_ID()
    or with an UPDATE
   query using same. I’ve also tried MAX(id) in place of it with no luck. I can,
   however, successfully query SELECT MAX(id) FROM table1.
 * Anyone know why this max id doesn’t want to work?
    Thank you
