I have the ID column auto_incrementing and I don't want to change that. Newbie that I am, I tried to add auto_increment to another column and failed.
Is there any way to have a field other than the ID field increment by a set value? create table test ( ID mediumint(9) NOT NULL auto_increment default 0, visitor_ID mediumint(9) NOT NULL default select 40000 + ID, RandomData varchar(10) default null, PRIMARY KEY (ID) ) TYPE=MyISAM; Inserting a new record and only populating RandomData auto increments ID as expected but visitor_ID is not incremented. How can I accomplish this?
