OK, I will (but it takes some time to download).
Till that I have got a more accurate bug report on this topic.
I created a test table containing only an 'auto_increment' field named 'id'.
If I insert values with '0' as id in the insert query, everything works
fine (incremented values).
AND NOW THE TRICK:
I inserted -1 to the table.
And after THIS, all of my insert queries even with id 0 in the query result
in -1 !!!!! But this is not the end. If I delete all ids smaller than 1,
then I try to insert some data with id 0, I've got -1 AGAIN!
So it seems that the table store the last insert id value, and if it's -1,
it stucks. Older MySQL versions were fine. It's hard because I've got many
LARGE tables with complex applications that use the technique to have
auto_increment value, BUT mark some fields with negative numbers as IDs
for special purposes not listed normally (where id>0).
The really annoying bug, that even after I delete all of my negative id'ed
records, the next insert will result in -1 too ;-(
So I have to delete all negative ids, dump the table, then recreate and reload
just for kick last insert id value for a table out from that bad state?
With my databases it will be very hard work for the hw, not counting other
problems.
What's your opponion on this?
Thanx a lot.
