Not, that's just a MySQL function.  You could, however, look for the
last value of the sequence generator for the table's primary key, which
should be (but may not always be) equivalent.

However, you are doing far more work than necessary getting the
inserted/updated data; you can just access it through the OLD. and NEW.
records already provided to the trigger.
