Re: [PHP-DB] mysql auto increment
I've done exactly this for a really cheap-and-dirty instance where two people were doing bulk data entry into two different instances of a mysql table which would eventually be stitched together. by giving one a higher range, the data migration afterwords was very easy. Other than that, can't imagine a use for this approach. -P -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP-DB] mysql auto increment
There might be some system that requires a 4 digit number and the PK is being used directly. Also, this same system might need to be exported to Excel, which trims leading zeros and is generally a pain in the ass.

Re: [PHP-DB] mysql auto increment
I just had a bit of a play with it and discovered you can do this: say your auto-increment index is named 'fred' for arguments sake. INSERT INTO table SET FRED = 1000 This will just create a record where the auto-index fred will equal 1000. Next auto-increment, NOT specifying a value for 'fred', will be 1001. No idea if there are any dangerous side-effects. Perhaps others will know?
