RE: [PHP-DB] mysql and auto_increment
Yes you sure can,.. When you insert a row just use one of the older values that no longer exists on the table.. Alternatively, you can insert a blank value, mysql will automatically set it to the next value after the highest one in the table and then you can update it to one of the older values.

RE: [PHP-DB] mysql and auto_increment
First, what do you mean by regs? If I understand your question, you want to know if mysql will re-use an old auto_increment value that has been deleted. The answer is yes and no. If you say: DELETE FROM mytable; then the next insertion will cause the auto_increment value to begin at 1 If you say: DELETE FROM mytable WHERE myfield0 then the next insertion will cause the auto_increment value to begin where the auto_increment left off. -Original Message- From: Nautilis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2002 9:26 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-DB] mysql and auto_increment Hi everyone My question is very simple, so i hope the answer will too :) Well i have an index field in my table which is set as auto_increment.
