update auto increment

[Csongor Fagyal]

Hi,

Sorry if this had been asked on this list previously.

If you had an auto_increment field in a table (let's name it "id"), previously (in 3.23.x, 4.0.x) the following (legal) SQL statement resulted in a "duplicate key" error:
UPDATE whatevertable SET id = id +1;

Will this be fixed in 4.1.x? Can it be fixed? Is there a workaround?

Regards,
- Cs.
