I would start the next review at 10001 so that the first review gets a fish 
trophy ;-)

Subject: Re: New Install - set starting review number?

Hi Peter,

What issues did you hit before? (Have we already talked about them? Apologies 
if we have..). We can generally help with relocation and upgrade issues under 
support contracts, in case you want to discuss that option.

As for ID numbers, they're based on the next auto-incremented ID returned from 
the database. So what you can do is create a dummy entry in 
reviews_reviewrequest with ID, say, 9999, and then Review Board's next ID will 
be 10000. You can then delete the dummy entry so it's not sticking around.

I'd recommend taking the time to go through every table from the old database 
and make sure there's a dummy entry at a higher ID in the new database, to 
basically reserve space in each table. That way, if you want to work with us 
later on getting the old data moved over to the newer version, we should be 
able to just merge the databases and keep all history in the new place.

Dear all,

I've just done a new ReviewBoard install (CentOS7, RB 2.5.17), given "issues" 
trying to transfer our existing (ancient) install.  This means the old site is 
going to remain live indefinitely for historical purposes.  What I would like 
to do with the new site is get review numbers in the new site to start from 
well above the last number in the old site, to make it clear at a glance which 
site holds the reivew.  Is there an easy/straightforward way to do that?

Thanks,

PJH
