You could DROP the table and recreate it. Should work.
if there is any other solution without dropping the table
hi...
If u want to delete all the records from the table means, use the command "truncate".
syntax:
truncate table <table_name>;
after truncating the table, if u insert the record, the auto increment value
starts from 1.

hi...
Another one method...
after deleting all the records, use the alter command to reset the auto increment value.
Ex: alter table tbl_xxx auto_increment = 1
Refer this link:

Hi,
i want to create a unique serial number to my Db entries. I thought
the best way would be to add the auto_increment primary key value to a
string, then insert it into a table field 'serial_num'.
$serial_num = "NAME000" . $auto_increment_value;
Is this possible in one function? Or do I have to insert all the other
data first, then get the last inserted id value and then update the

I have a table with quiz questions. Each question has a unique ID, based on
an auto_increment field.
Now I've discovered that with deleting rows from the table the deleted ID's
are not reissued. Makes sense, just thought of that a bit late.
How can I simply re-index or update or how one would call it, the columns
holding the ID numbers ? Is there a ready-made mysql command or do I have to
load all rows in PHP and modify where necessary ?...

Hello,
The first column of my table is AUTO_INCREMENT.
I fill my table with 5 records with a blanco value in their first
field.
The first column of my table will then hold the values 1,2,3,4,5
(top>down).
Then I erase those 5. Then I add a new record with a blanco first
value. It will get number 6.

I made a MyISAM table on mysql 4.0.18 NT with auto_increment column
started at 2147483646. The third row I insert fails as expected
because the integer range is maxed out. However, if I delete the
topmost row, and then re-insert a row, the topmost value is reused.
This contradicts the documentation.

Hi, how can I add char to auto_increment? For example, the
auto_increment is for integer, I want to add a character at the front

primary key(UserID));

Newbie questions here...
Reading the MySQL manual regarding InnoDB databases, can someone confirm
that:
1. if the server is rebooted, AUTO_INCREMENT reverts back to 1?
2. what happens if the field is specified as or PRIMARY KEY or UNIQUE?
Cheers

I am migrating a database to MySQL 5.0. Several tables should have their primary key as an auto_increment integer. The database being copied has records with the primary key beginning with zero (0). These keys are foreign keys so it is not desirable to change their values.
Here is what I have been trying:
(1) Truncate table <tablename>;
(2) Alter table <tablename> modify recid integer not null default 0;

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
