instead use the following syntax:
INSERT INTO teachers VALUES (1,12345,NULL,'Harry','Smith','707-773-4523',2',...
However, the first field is an autoincrementing field. Will MySQL ignore my value and overwrite it with the "auto" value?
No. It will only generate an auto-increment value if you specify NULL or omit the column value from the statement. In the latter case you must provide a column list so that MySQL knows which data values go in which clients.
Er, ... go in which *columns*.
