Regards Jnani Hi Jnani, Assuming your table name is tbl and the field for the auto_increment is id, just write: ALTER TABLE tbl CHANGE id id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT; I hope that helps.

Oh sorry! it should be ALTER TABLE tbl CHANGE id id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT; I hope this helps unless you have a column already defined as auto_increment in the same table.
