I have created a new table, with an auto_increment value. I would

first auto_increment value to be 1001. So I -
1) inserted a fake record with an id of 1000
2) alter table tblname auto_increment=1000 (with and without a fake
record)
3) alter table tblname auto_increment=1001 (with and without a fake
record)
Mysql version is 5.0.38 using MyIsam tables. Can someone explain
auto_increment, more than what is in the manual? I have read it, and
apparently I am missing something or don't understand it. Thanks!
