Actually you can. As Bastien pointed out:
ALTER TABLE tbl AUTO_INCREMENT = 1;
This may screw with your indexes though, if you have a primary indexed,
or unique indexed row, and you set this to 1, mysql >>MAY<< try and
insert conflicting values. I've never done this so I have no idea how
this is handled by the server, but I suspect you'll just get an error.

Subject: [PHP-DB] auto_increment command
I am not sure if that last e-mail went through or not. I am wondering
how to re-set the auto_increment field back to 1 in one of my tables.

there no such thing reset auto_increment
if you need the reset.. there were way to do that.
rename the table.. then take query to build it
create new table and tralalla.. u have reset it.
fyi. if inside the table already have a data were id was 100.. the next id
must be 101..
btw.. if you want to make your table more clean (i said about.. how random
the num).. there is a way.
what reason u wanna do that??
