Yes, I understand that, but I'm trying to create the table and
initialize UserID by redirecting a .sql file into mysql (batch mode). I
don't want to insert a 'dummy' record starting at 1000, I want MySQL to
do that, like it says in "MySQL" by Paul DuBois [p.94, chap.2.]. Again,
this works in interactive mode, but NOT in batch mode. Can you or
someone explain how this can be done in batch mode?

As I indicated above, from a file.
