I am using ColdFusion MX 7.0 with a MySQL database.

One of my tables has an autoincrement field called "intKey" (without the 
quotes, obviously) as the key.

Is there a way to programatically determine the number of the next record that 
will be added to the database?

For example, if I have ten records (with keys of 1 through 10) and I delete 
records 8, 9, and 10, the next record that will be inserted will be 11.  
Therefore it's not a matter of using the Max(intKey) function and adding 1, 
because that would say that the next record will be 8 instead of 11.

Is there something I am missing here?

Thanks!

Chris
