Auto-increment Starts On Highest Value


When this has been created, the ID has been generated to 2147483647 and when I try and create another record it fails because nothing can go higher than 2147483647 (I think)

The auto-increment has been started at 2147483647 no idea why, and from there when I atmysqlt to create another record it will fail because it ascends from that value.

Increment Column Without Auto Increment
What's the fastest way I can use an INSERT statement to insert a new record including an 'ID' which is one greater than the current highest ID in the table.

Is this possible without first doing a SELECT query? I'll be using php too btw, so if there's a way to do this in php, then I'm open to such suggestions also.

ID As Auto Increment
I am using server version: 4.1.11-nt on windows 2000.

I want to create a table with ID as auto increment and initialise it
with a starting value of 1000.

I am trying to do following

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `demo`;
CREATE TABLE `demo` (
id bigint not null auto_increment=1000,
`Author_Name` tinytext,
`Authors_Email` varchar(255) default '',
`Author_Password` varchar(8) default '',
`Author_Zipcode` int(6) default NULL,
`Author_DOB` date default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
) DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

The error i am getting is shown below

ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the
manual that
corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use
near '=1000
,
`Author_Name` tinytext,
`Authors_Email` varchar(255) default '',
`A' at line 2
[color=blue]
>From MySQL manual i learned that innoDB engine cannt have a default[/color]
value.

Please suggest me how to create a table so that it gets initialised by
1000 value (First record starts from 1000).

Auto-increment
I have a simple table that represents users of a system. There is a userID which i set to auto increment when creating the table. It works perfectly for creating new users, however if i remove user entrys the next time a user is created it registers the user as though the deleted user still exists.

Say for instance there is 4 users with USER IDs being 1,2,3,4. Then i delete user 4. Then at somepoint create another user i would like them to come in at userID 4. However it is currently adding them at userID 5. Is there a way around this?

Using Auto Increment
for tables with huge numbers of rows like logs is it possible and what happens if the value increments to a point that it exceeds the max limit say an UNSIGNED INT 2^32 = 4 billion, especially if you delete rows the next counting number still increments from the number of the last row you have deleted, meaning even if you have a small data, as time goes by, as deleting and inserting rows, the auto increment id field will eventually hit the max?

What I'm doing at the moment is using an ID with Primary Key and auto increment when the user registers, then I just add a row to each of the 5 tables with the users ID. But I don't use any auto increment, I just set the user ID as primary key, because I don't have any use for a another column, as it is just one row per user.

user table
uid (Primary Key, auto_increment, mediumint)
name (varchar 50)
[etc]

team table
uid (Primary Key, mediumint)
[lots of other columns]

another table
uid (Primary Key, mediumint)
[lots of other columns]

and so on.

Did I misunderstand the guide, or should I put a column called "id" or something (to the left of uid in the 5 tables) as Primary key, auto_increment? I wouldn't use it for anything though.

The tables will most likey be of InnoDB engine.

SELECT And Auto Increment
I have a table with an auto_increment PK. Rows get deleted occasionally, so I have IDs like 1,2,4,5,8 and so on. I've been playing around trying to get a query to work to grab the adjacent IDs to the one that is currently selected.
For example, viewrecord.php?id=4 pulls out the row with that ID, but it also needs to determine that the previous ID is 2 and the next ID is 5. I can write a function to do this but it would have more overhead than what is probably needed, so I wanted to ask the experts if there is anything that already does this built into MySQL. I was trying to see if there is a LIMIT way to do this, like LIMIT -1,3 but I can't figure anything out.

Next Auto-increment Number
My primary ID in a MySQL database table is set to auto-increment. My question is, how do I predict or know what the next number is ahead of time before the entry is submitted to the database? Is this possible to know? In most cases, I found that this number is sequential but other cases I found that this number also jumps or skips if for example, I have ID 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and then I deleted entry 6, the next number would be 7 and not 6

Auto Increment Limitation
I made a table in a DB with an auto_increment row (id), and gave it the type 'INT(4)', after the maximum (127) was reached, I couldn't put anymore data in this table. Of course, I can give the id-row a bigger type for example BIGINT, so the max. is a 19 digit number instead of a 3-digit one, but like this, there's always a limit, no?

Is there any solution for that or do I just have to restart the database ever before reaching the maximum number?

Different Values From Auto Increment
I run a query, looking for a value in a non-increment column. I then do an insert and the auto_increment field gets inserted with the next value + 1 from the key field in the query result. OK so far. When I query again for a different value in the non-increment field and then do an insert, the auto_increment field gets inserted with the next value + 1 from this result set, not necessarily the highest value in the dataset.
I am checking the values with:

$query = "SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID()";
$result = mysql_query($query);

Why would an auto_increment field give me a lower, than a higher, than a lower value. I have many years exp with databases, but new to MySQL.

Mysql Auto Increment
I have a member table that stores information of my user such as password,username,address,etc. Currently i have about 250k registered user(So thats 250k rows). The table has been running smoothly and querying to this table has been pretty fast.

The table doesn't have an auto increment field before and i just assign the primary key to the username. Now, i need to add another auto increment field to it. But after i've done that, the database becomes significantly slower. Querying is super slow and sometimes when i try to browse the data from phpmyadmin or navicat, the database just hangs. As a result i have to restart mysql.

This problem only occurs after i add the auto increment field. I am very sure. Because after i remove it, everything goes back to normal...

1, 3, 5
1, 4, 5

I would like the item field to auto increment, but to do so *within* each group_id. My team has asked that the data remain in flat-file format, so I can't just break the data into tables by group_id.
