Problem: I'm experimenting with using mysqldump to backup my data, which seems to work ok. However, in recreating the tables I run into a problem. Using either "LOAD DATA INFILE" or "mysqlimport" methods I get the error Error: Duplicate entry '102' for key 1 Field def: record_id SMALLINT UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY ; There is no duplicate record_id '102', but I'm concerned that, since the data in the text file is not in record_id order, that the AUTO_INCREMENT option I've assigned to record_id may be causing the problem - record_id "100" comes much earlier in the file, for instance. Do you know if either LOAD DATA or mysqlimport disables auto increment? Is there something else I should be doing?
