Hi all: This might be obvious to many but I just noticed that MySQL's "Auto Increment" still increases when using the autocommit = 0 / rollback() transaction method of handling database dependent tests, at least with my set up. So if you wonder why your new ID numbers are significantly higher than it seems they should be, that would probably explain why.
