On a more general note, if the actual value of the primary key matters for anything other than simply existing as a primary key, then you shouldn't be using auto-increment at all. You should generate the value through some other means and insert it with the value that you want it to be.

Can you elaborate on that point? Do you not use auto-increment values to link records in a one to many relationship?
