Hi, I'm looking for some basic help. I am developing a MySQL database and want to auto increment a field, but I don't want it to just count 1,2,3, etc. I want the field to be a combination of letters and numbers, at least 8 digits long, completely random for security porposes, but do this automatically, everytime a record is added. For example, ord5001, ord5002, ord5003, etc. Does anyone know how to do this in MySQL? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/auto-increment-format-tf4229677.html#a12032917 Sent from the MySQL - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
