RE: autoincrement column

2004-04-08 Thread Andrew Presley
Keep in mind you can't use truncate in a transaction though.  I experienced 
this problem
recently when wanting to delete an entire table and reset my auto increment 
values. While
keeping it in a transaction.

Try truncate table. It essentially drops the table and recreates it.

That's odd. I've altered tables in the past an not had auto_increment
columns revert to 0. Can you show us the SQL for the table and the
ALTER TABLE statement you're running, maybe?
