Hi,

My understanding is that with mysql >= 3.23 versions the last value of
an auto_increm column is stored, thus even if records are deleted, when
a new one is inserted (as NULL), values will not be re-used.
This is a fine attribute, but is there any way to override it?
That is, to bump back the counter by force?

E.g. I have
test:
1
2
3
4

and then delete "3" and "4":
1
2

and when inserting a new record by saying
"insert into test NULL"
, I would like it to become "3".

Maybe I need a new table creation, and copy of current table in that, etc.?

Cheers
Gaspar
