Hi, No questions that my understanding of sql is limited. I am not an expert. I think I have misunderstood the replace statement.

You said you did 122,111 REPLACE queries, so the last one should have had an autoincrement value of at least 122,111. Maybe you want to use INSERT IGNORE instead of REPLACE, so that you're keeping the first ID you create instead of the last? -- Keith C.
