The following deletes all records and continues counting from where the table last left off: DELETE FROM mytable WHERE 1; If you are trying to restart numbering while not deleting records, forget-about-it. -----Original Message----- From: Wei Gao [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2002 2:10 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Reset auto_increment Hi, As I am new to MySQL, perhaps this is a common question you have been asked. I have a field "Id" which using auto_increment. Now I want to reset the value of auto_increment, that is the "Id" starts form 1 and does not skip the number. I have spent a few hours to find a way, but all failed. Could you please tell me how to do it?
