I don't know if this is a bug or a feature. Just an observation concerning creating MYISAM tables with auto_increment.
CREATE TABLE mytable (myval int auto_increment unique ) AUTO_INCREMENT=9000; INSERT INTO mytable VALUES(NULL); INSERT INTO mytable VALUES(NULL); these above INSERTS create entries as expected: myval=9000, myval=9001 DELETE FROM mytable; INSERT INTO mytable VALUES(NULL); this INSERT creates myval=1, instead of the 9000 or 9002 that I would expect. However: CREATE TABLE mytable (myval int auto_increment unique ) AUTO_INCREMENT=9000; INSERT INTO mytable VALUES(NULL); INSERT INTO mytable VALUES(NULL); DELETE FROM mytable WHERE myval>0; INSERT INTO mytable VALUES(NULL); this INSERT creates an entry in the table: myval=9001, which is preferred. Question: upon deleting all entries from a table with "DELETE FROM mytable", should the next auto_incremented value be 1 or the initial auto_increment value specified in the CREATE statement (in this case 9000)? rick --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
