I have the need to get last id (primary key) of a table (InnoDB), and to do so I perform the following query:
SELECT (SELECT `AUTO_INCREMENT` FROM `information_schema`.`TABLES` WHERE `TABLE_SCHEMA` = 'mySchema' AND `TABLE_NAME` = 'myTable') - 1;
which returns the wrong AUTO_INCREMENT. The problem is the TABLES table of information_schema is not updated with the current value, unless I run the following query:
ANALYZE TABLE `myTable`;
Why doesn't MySQL update information_schema automatically, and how could I fix this behavior?
Running MySQL Server 8.0.13 X64.

A: InnoDB holds the auto_increment value in memory, and doesn't persist that to disk.
