Hmmm. When the table is first created, the id number should default to starting at 1. Once the table has had entries added and deleted you can run an ALTER TABLE to reset it to 1, provided it is empty I think.
There's no way to store an integer left-padded with zeros like that, however. What you can do is left pad it with zeros whenever you select it: select LPAD(id,12,0) from Inv_Id order by id; HTH, Dan On 10/16/06, Scott Hamm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I'm trying to create a table as follows: CREATE TABLE Inv_Id ( ID INT(12) AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, MID INT NOT NULL, FOREIGN (MID) REFERENCES 'Model' (ID) ); How do I make ID to start out as '000000000001' for UPC barcode assignment? -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- `Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. --------------------------------------------------------------------
