 The function ''insert_Id()'' returns the last auto-increment number of __any__ table, generated by an insert on a table with an auto-increment column. If no such insertion has occurred or the database does not support the operation, the function returns false.
-The value retrieved is **connection based**, meaning that each concurrent connection (even if they are associated with the same procedure) has its own instance of the number.
+The value retrieved is **connection based**, meaning that each concurrent connection (even if multiple connections are associated with the same procedure) has its own instance of the number.
 It is important to remember that there is only a single storage instance for the number, and if one insert statement with an auto-increment number succeeds another, the insert_id value for the second statement will overwrite the value of the first, so retrieve the value of the first before executing the second.
