Hi, I tried import some tables from dumped text file (command line - with command SOURCE), where one row in table ABC had a value -1 in ID column (it means with properties 'primary key auto_increment' etc.). After, when I tried insert some new data to table ABC (INSERT without ID column specified - for example INSERT INTO ABC (NAME) values ('BULL');), database created a row with ID=2^31-1 (I don't know exactly the value now, it's something about 2,14 mlds). It means, that "auto_increment counter" was set to the most highest value and next inserts to this table aren't possible now. It's a bug or feature? :) And if it's a feature, why it works in this way? oSup ============================ e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 10798264 tel.: 0608/974782 SMS: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ============================ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
