[PHP-DB] auto-increment question
Hi all, I'm wondering if there is a way to start an auto-increment field at a number other than 1. I'm working on a table meant to store large amounts of users, each with their own unique ID, but my employer wants the UIDs to be a four- digit number, rather than starting at 1 -- but they still need to auto- increment. Can this be done, or do I need to find a workaround (and if so, can anyone suggest anything?)

Re: [PHP-DB] auto-increment question
This is more of a MySQL question, but you can set the column default for the auto_increment column to something other than 1. Look up the SET DEFAULT clause of the table create / alter table calls. -Szii - Original Message - From: Dan Swensen [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: php [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 22, 2002 10:21 PM Subject: [PHP-DB] auto-increment question Hi all, I'm wondering if there is a way to start an auto-increment field at a number other than 1.

Hello!! ALTER TABLE table1 AUTO_INCREMENT = 1000; That should do it... You can use that anytime..
