ive gotten along pretty well with mysql and online docs.  but now i
am stumped and hoping for a little kick in the right direction.

i have a column in a table which is the primary key and is an int.
how do i make it also be auto_increment?  the table already has some
data in it, so i suspect that this may be where my problem comes from.
when i use ALTER TABLE (my best guess at how to do it), i get this error:

  mysql> alter table fixtures modify column id int auto_increment;
  ERROR 1062: Duplicate entry '1' for key 1

perhaps i need to somehow start things up with the next highest
auto increment  .. or ...?


thanks,
-jon
