Hi, Is this correct for MySQL to increment the auto_increment counter if the INSERT query fails? For example:
mysql> CREATE TABLE test ( i INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, c CHAR(16) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY(i), UNIQUE(c)) type=InnoDB; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.25 sec) mysql> INSERT INTO test VALUES('', 'test1'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.05 sec) mysql> INSERT INTO test VALUES('', 'test2'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.24 sec) mysql> INSERT INTO test VALUES('', 'test2'); ERROR 1062: Duplicate entry 'test2' for key 2 mysql> INSERT INTO test VALUES('', 'test3'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.02 sec) mysql> SELECT * FROM test; +---+-------+ | i | c | +---+-------+ | 1 | test1 | | 2 | test2 | | 4 | test3 | +---+-------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
