MySQL Query Problem

[Victor Subervi]

Here's some more data:

        print 'insert into Passengers values (Null, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s,
%s, %s, "no", "n/a")' % (curr_flight, curr_customer, name, curr_sex,
curr_weight, price, curr_rt, curr_confirmation)
        cursor.execute('insert into Passengers values (Null, %s, %s, %s, %s,
%s, %s, %s, %s, "no", "n/a")', (curr_flight, curr_customer, name, curr_sex,
curr_weight, price, curr_rt, curr_confirmation))
        database.commit()
        cursor.execute('select last_insert_id() from Passengers')
        last_insert_id = cursor.fetchone()[0]
        print 'update Passengers set name=%s, weight=%s where id=%s' %
(name, curr_weight, last_insert_id)
        cursor.execute('update Passengers set name=%s, weight=%s where
id=%s', (name, curr_weight, last_insert_id))
        database.commit()

This prints out:

insert into Passengers values (Null, 1, 1, Dr. Mengela, Male, 155, 100, 100,
654, "no", "n/a")
update Passengers set name=Dr. Mengela, weight=155 where id=15

Here's what's in the database:

mysql> select * from Passengers;
+----+------------+-------------+------+------+--------+-------+------------+--------------+----------+---------------+
| id | flights_id | customer_id | name | sex  | weight | price | round_trip

| 15 |          1 |           1 | ''   | Male |   NULL |  0.00 |        100

2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> describe Passengers;

|                |
+---------------+-------------------------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
11 rows in set (0.00 sec)

and when I run the update:

mysql> select * from Passengers;
+----+------------+-------------+-------------+------+--------+-------+------------+--------------+----------+---------------+
| id | flights_id | customer_id | name        | sex  | weight | price |
round_trip | confirmation | late_fee | late_fee_paid |
+----+------------+-------------+-------------+------+--------+-------+------------+--------------+----------+---------------+
|  1 |          1 |           1 | ''          | NULL |   NULL |  0.00
|          0 | 12345        | NULL     | NULL          |
| 15 |          1 |           1 | Dr. Mengela | Male |    155 |  0.00
|        100 | 654          | no       | n/a           |
+----+------------+-------------+-------------+------+--------+-------+------------+--------------+----------+---------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Please explain why it does that!
TIA,
beno
