An example of where it wouldn't be: Although ID is auto_increment, you could define a row as, say, '10005583429'. This would be a valid input. Selecting max(id) would return that number. However, auto_increment wouldn't change - it would still be '34' (or whatever) for the next line.
Not quite... CREATE TABLE t (id bigint unsigned primary key auto_increment); INSERT INTO t VALUES (10005583429); INSERT INTO t VALUES (null); SELECT * FROM t; +-------------+ | id | +-------------+ | 10005583429 | | 10005583430 | +-------------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec) / Carsten -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org
