Once it's loaded into MySQL: SELECT ID FROM mytable ORDER BY ID DESC LIMIT 1;
This will provide the highest ID index. Set your new ID index in MySQL with the AUTO_INCREMENT attribute. This will automatically increment ID when a new record is added. -----Original Message----- From: Brad Harriger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2001 1:32 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-DB] Access to MySQL Conversion question I have several MS Access databases that I need to convert to MySQL. Each table is indexed on an ID field. How do I find the last index number in the existing table so that I can increment it for the next record that is added?
