>From the MySQL docs: If you delete the row containing the maximum value for an AUTO_INCREMENT column, the value will be reused with an ISAM, or BDB table but not with a MyISAM or InnoDB table. If you delete all rows in the table with DELETE FROM table_name (without a WHERE) in AUTOCOMMIT mode, the sequence starts over for all table types.
So this will depend on your table type and how you do your deletes. http://danconia.org ------------------------------------------------ On Mon, 11 Nov 2002 11:07:53 -0800, "Jessee Parker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > In my script, I do the following: I insert x amount of records into a MySQL > table, process the information and then delete those records.
