That's normal. TSQLQuery caches everything. In fact the record isn't
made yet, only in memory. So MySQL didn't generate a number yet.

Can you give the literal error-message?

btw: you can use the same transaction for the query and the connection.
Especially with MySQL, where the transaction-code only contains empty
stubs.
