Re: [PHP-DB] auto_increment
Hello! I didn't use any DROP statements. Do exactly as following: mysql CREATE TABLE stats2 LIKE stats; mysql ALTER TABLE stats2 ADD COLUMN id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, ADD PRIMARY KEY(id); mysql INSERT INTO stats2 SELECT *, 0 FROM stats ORDER BY The first line copies the structure of table stats to a new table called stats2; The second one, create a new field called id; The third inserts all records from stats to stats2, in correct order. After all, you need drop the table stats and rename the table stats2 to stats: mysql DROP TABLE stats; mysql RENAME TABLE stats2 TO stats; Be careful, I don't know your environment. []'s Adriano!

Re: [PHP-DB] auto_increment
Hey friend! I can't see another way to fix your table without a processing (like a stored procedure, script, etcetera). But I believe there is a workaround, which involves a creation of another table. See this: mysql CREATE TABLE stats2 LIKE stats; mysql ALTER TABLE stats2 ADD COLUMN id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, ADD PRIMARY KEY(id); mysql INSERT INTO stats2 SELECT *, 0 FROM stats ORDER BY initial_access; Don't forget to see the correct type of INT which should be used.

Yes. Again, it's in the PHP docs if you look in http://www.php.net/mysql
for Get the ID generated from the previous INSERT operation
Really, you should try the docs first instead of falling back on the soft
option of asking the list.
Also, just as a side note, you don't need to provide a value for the
auto-increment field; that's why it is called auto as it does the
incrementing automatically. If your response to that is I need the
values in a specific order then you have the wrong idea of what the
auto-increment field is for.

RE: [PHP-DB] auto_increment problem???
Russ, I'd pursue this on the mysql list as this behaviour appears erratic. I'd have to check docs, but would assume that autoincrement data is kept in the parent (mysql) table. If these keys are not sequential it doesn't matter. (That's one of the great things about Visual FoxPro's sys(2015) funtion - it generates a unique key, one simply has to call it and insert the returned value.) The alternative is maintaining a key table where the value of the last used key (plus one) is stored for each table requiring a unique key. Then you're off down a completely different track, with record locking issues, etc. Much better to verify the way MySQL does it.

Don't do this. You do know that an unsigned int (using a signed int in an auto_increment field is pointless anyway) has a max value of 4294967295, right? To put this into perspective... if you had one million customers, they would have more than 4294 transactions EACH before sid filled up. If you are still worried about running out of numbers in your sid field make it an unsigned bigint. The max value for an unsigned bigint is 18446744073709551615... so that should give you lots of space to play in, Well, oke. I'm builing some pageviewcounter. Maybe count more then 1 million pageview a day in future :) You're right it will take many days before i have counted 18446744073709551615 views :). But in some way it feel like wasting. The first day using the first milion ids, the second day the next milion and never reuse that numbers. (Yes i realize 8bytes a row is much better then 32 (or 33 if you do stupid things :))) Maybe there is a better implemention? I dont i the first one solving this? This is usually viewed as a non-issue. The reason is you are using 8 bytes whether sid=1 or (2^64-1) (which is the really big number above). In addition (2^64-1) is a REALLY big number. If you had a Billion hits a day, you would not run out of possible sid's for approximately 50.5 million years. Finally, since you are deleting rows after a certain amount of time you can always reset the auto_increment value (I think that is as simlple as set insert_id=1; but you may want to double check as this is off the top of my head). and sid will only be 8 bytes per row... not 33 (Also incidentally, if you do want to save an md5 value to a row in the future... use char not varchar as you know it will be 32 bytes and are adding a wasted 33rd byte).

Re: [PHP-DB] auto_increment in mysql
The version you use may be lower than 3.23 because auto_increment sequence number begin at 1 for MySQL version up to 3.23. "Russ Michell" [EMAIL PROTECTED] ? news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...

hi,
i have a problem
i have a database table created with the statement:
CREATE TABLE chatmessages (id tinyint(6) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL
AUTO_INCREMENT, message text, username varchar(100), UNIQUE id (id);
I insert records with:
INSERT INTO chatmessages (message, username) VALUES ('$message', '$username')
this works fine (for a while), i can insert messages and retreive them
with php.
But after some time i get the error:
ERROR 1062: Duplicate entry '127' for key 1
but how can this be because i've set it to AUTO_INCREMENT.
can someone help me?
thanks in advance
Don't use tinyint. It only allows 128 values (0 to 127). Any values
larger than 127 will go in as 127.
Try smallint or int.Sounds like phpadmin, it defaults variables as
tinyint
