Hi,
Is there any way to set the auto_increment value with the variable like
below.
mysql> set @id=10;
mysql> alter table suresh_copy auto_increme...@id;
ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual
that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use
near '@id' at line 1

It is working and below but need to work ab above.

mysql> alter table suresh_copy auto_increment=1000;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)
Records: 0  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 0

>From the MySQL documentation :
------------------------------
To change the value of the AUTO_INCREMENT  counter to be used for new rows,
do this:

ALTER TABLE t2 AUTO_INCREMENT = value;

You cannot reset the counter to a value less than or equal to any that have
already been used.

Thanks
Suresh Kuna
