Hallo Jason,
my problem is that the mysql 'auto_increment' behaviour
will increase the 'sequence' always to the maxnumber +1.
We now have p.e. a table with customers.
Every new customer will of course get a customer_id.
We now have 2 different id_ranges.
Some customers should get their id range
a) 10000-99999
But some will get their id from range
b) 1000000-9999999
The 'auto_increment' field is no help here.
regards
Gunnar
