RE: [PHP] Re: May i?
Why do you need it anyway? auto_increment is a mySQL functionality to (listen this carefully) KEEP UNICITY WITHIN A TABLE. This is what they are needed for. I agree - it would look prettier having them even sequential, but that is behind the real point and it is not a problem. You should make your application independent from id value - id should only serve you as a key to relate the data within application/database.

Many people, myself included, believe the ability to use numbers that were used previously is a bug, so in 3.23, once a number is used in an auto incrementing column it cannot be used again. At least mysql won't auto generate it again. -- Jason Stechschulte [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ypisco.com -- To teach is to learn. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Re: May i?
well... yes, then maybe i made a mistake there was data related to the id . then i delete that row and the data that was related to the comments are gone away, because the row id has changedso i would have to put then manually again Flavio Bastos Amiel Maxim Maletsky [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message 000c01c23b50$050fcfe0$1113fe17@dominanta">news:000c01c23b50$050fcfe0$1113fe17@dominanta...

RE: [PHP] Re: May i?
Hi. I used to wonder that myself too. Now (after lots of auto_increment fields I've done) I know that a sequential order is just pretty but useless 'cause MySQL won't give you a maximum fields allowed. The solution is pretty easy. Just make an SQL query like this: SQL ALTER TABLE table_name AUTO_INCREMENT = 1; And that's it... it will restore the counting back to where it was left.
