Jon, Did this really do what you wanted? I find myself in much the same situation, of having an ancient RB implementation in use, setting up a more modern one, and the prospect of either keeping the old one around for some indeterminite amount of time.
The question I have is: isn't reviews_review a table of completed reviews? The 'id' field in reviews_review seems to have the auto_increment attribute. Isn't the thing you want to adjust reviews_reviewrequest table, so that the review *request* numbers don't collide with the old ones, rather than the completed review records? . Once I executed ALTER TABLE reviews_reviewrequest 20000; I got review requests numbered up that high. (Of course, I changed reviews_reviewrequest *after* changing reviews_review. So now my IDs in the reviews_review table are starting at around 20000. Gulp!) Thanks, m@ On Aug 21, 6:48 pm, Jon Stevens <latch...@gmail.com> wrote: > Lol. That confirms my suspicions.
