How to change the next value of an auto_increment field
(1/1)
admin:
Question:
I have a table where the primary key is an auto increment field. I just deleted the last 2 rows and when the next record will be created it will use the next higher number but I'd like to subtract 2 from the auto_increment value. How can I do this?
Answer:
Use the ALTER TABLE statement as shown below:
--- Code: ---
/* this makes the next record have 911 in the auto increment field: */
alter table MYTABLE auto_increment=911;
--- End code ---
