Hi, I have a MyISAM table which has a run_id which together with user_id forms the primary key for the table. run_id is not null and auto-increment. I delete records from this table, and add new records. I want the run_id to keep incrementing and not reuse values, but here is the actual behavior:
When records are deleted, upon the next insert run_id will be given a value which is one higher than the greatest value remaining in the table. If the table is empty, run_id will be assigned '1'. Is there any way in which I can get run_id to keep incrementing and not be based on the current highest value in the table, but on the last assigned run_id even if that record has been deleted? If not, are there any common workarounds?
