How do you set a Primary Key when uploading data into a table?

2005-10-10 Thread Bill Abel
How do you load data into a table and generate a primary key which  
auto increments by 1.


I want to end up with a primary key value of int 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on.

My table has three rows, Id (pri_key), Code, Description. I'm loading  
data from a text file into the table like this:


load data local infile 'path_to_myfile.txt' into table sic_codes lines
terminated by '\r' (code, description);

Currently, the Id gets values of 99897, and then increments by one.

Any  help is appreciated.
