You do not want this really from the point you understood
what a primary key does in a database

The PRIKEY is unqiue for a record and if the record
does no longer exist his PRIKEY must never return

Sample:
* website
* shop-products
* you have prodid 500 costs 200$
* you delete the product
* there are bookmarks out there
* they NEVER should point to another product what costs 5.000 $ as sample

in no rdbms auto_increment values are reused and if than
you have found a hard bug
