Hello, I am trying to get auto_increment to begin at a certain integer. CREATE TABLE USERS ( user_id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, username varchar(50), firstname varchar(50), middlename varchar(50), lastname varchar(50), email varchar(100), business_name varchar(250), visible varchar(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'T' ) TYPE=InnoDB; ALTER TABLE users auto_increment = 590;
After executing this above code, and do a insert, insert into users (username) values ('scott'); I get a user_id of 1 and not 590. What possibly could I be doing wrong. I have read the fine manual, and it looks like I am doing the correct thing? mysql> \s -------------- mysql Ver 12.21 Distrib 4.0.15, for Win95/Win98 (i32) Thanks, Scott K Purcell | Developer | VERTIS | 555 Washington Ave. 4th Floor | St. Louis, MO 63101 | 314.588.0720 Ext:1320 | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.vertisinc.com <http://www.vertisinc.com/> Vertis is the premier provider of targeted advertising, media, and marketing services that drive consumers to marketers more effectively.
