Through your MySQL documentation, I wasn't able to find a function that I think could be useful. If you DELETE a row with an INT AUTO_INCREMENT field, it will still be able to add the next highest value to this column on an INSERT (ex. If after INSERTing rows, you DELETE a row with a value of five in its INT AUTO_INCREMENT column and the highest value for this particular INT column is currently six, your next INSERTed row will have a value of seven). This is very troubling for me, since at some point this INT will reach it's limit with 'holes' within the table. I think a function to find the lowest hole in a specified table would be a useful addition to further upgrades. Thank you for your time and patience. Sincerely, Trash Phantom
