Re: [PHP-DB] mysql auto increment From: Ross Honniball (ross <email protected>)
Date: 07/13/04

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?
