Heya, Praveena.

Note that MySQL doesn't care what the AUTO_INCREMENT value for the table is, so long as it is unique. There's no reason why your records have to start with ID 1, for example.

But if you're dead-set on changing it:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. ALTER TABLE `table name` AUTO_INCREMENT=new_value;
  2.
