It is dangerous to find the next borrower number using the "max"
function.

Ideally we should use the autoincrement property of the column. This
solution is equivalent to having sequences (they don't exist in MySQL).

Another solution would be to find the maximum between the maximum
borrowers.borrowernumber and the maximum
deletedborrowers.borrowernumber.

Hope it helps :-)
