Retaining last primary key value

2006-12-08 Thread Adam Zerlin
Hello, When I run a DELETE FROM table_name, my primary key field is reset back to 1. Is there any way for it to not do this? Preferably, if there were 1000 records in table_name, and I ran DELETE FROM table_name, that the primary key field would start at 1001. This is an InnoDB table

Thanks for the reply but that didn't do it. I believe I've got this to work by performing the following steps: DELETE FROM table_name (1000 rows) INSERT INTO table_name(column) VALUES(value) DELETE FROM table_name Now when I perform another INSERT, the primary key starts at 1001. Adam Zerlin
