Hi all. I have searched the documentation, and i found some info, but I wanted to ask the lsit a little more about auto_increment.
First, if I use auto_increment, and then delete a field, I assume mysql leaves the remaining fields with the original numbers... i.e. if I haverows 1 through 10 and delete row 1, the other rows are still 2-9. Is this correct. If I want to insert something with a value of 1, is that easy to do? What if I decide to reorganize the rows. Must I drop them and repopulate, or can I just shuffle them to the order I want? Finally, do most of you findauto-increment to be pretty useful or more restrictive, or both, useful but restrictive?
