Is it possible to increase the PK somehow?
I need to make it start at about 10000. Is there some sql statement I could execute directly in phpMyAdmin?
EDIT:
I need to be a bit more clear...
I need to update all rows with a PK over 2190 (about 2000 rows). Need to update them to start at about 10000 instead... So I do believe it is some sort of programming question...
Quoting the doc.
So the question is about updating some set of values. Well, here's one way to do it:
UPDATE some_table
SET some_pk = 10000 + some_pk
WHERE some_pk > 2190
Still, you have to follow this with ALTER TABLE tbl AUTO_INCREMENT = 10000; otherwise all the rows inserted after this UPDATE still get an old auto_increment. For example:
CREATE TABLE t (id INT AUTO_INCREMENT NOT NULL, s VARCHAR(5), PRIMARY KEY (id));
INSERT INTO t (s) VALUES ('a'), ('b'), ('c'), ('d'), ('e');
UPDATE t SET id = id + 10000 WHERE id > 3;
ALTER TABLE t AUTO_INCREMENT = 10000;
INSERT INTO t (s) VALUES ('f');
Without ALTER TABLE... 'f''s id will be 6; with it - 10006.
Here's SQL Fiddle illustrating this concept.
If your table has already been created with an auto-incr. index, use
ALTER TABLE tbl AUTO_INCREMENT = 10000;

How do I set the initial value for an "id" column in a MySQL table that start from 1001?
I want to do an insert "INSERT INTO users (name, email) VALUES ('{$name}', '{$email}')";
Without specifying the initial value for the id column.
Use this:
ALTER TABLE users AUTO_INCREMENT=1001;
or if you haven't already added an id column, also add it
ALTER TABLE users ADD id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
ADD INDEX (id);
MySQL - Setup an auto-incrementing primary key that starts at 1001:
Step 1, create your table:
create table penguins(
my_id int(16) auto_increment,
skipper varchar(4000),
PRIMARY KEY (my_id)
)
Step 2, set the start number for auto increment primary key:
ALTER TABLE penguins AUTO_INCREMENT=1001;
Step 3, insert some rows:
insert into penguins (skipper) values("We need more power!");
insert into penguins (skipper) values("Time to fire up");
insert into penguins (skipper) values("kowalski's nuclear reactor.");
Step 4, interpret the output:
select * from penguins
prints:
'1001', 'We need more power!'
'1002', 'Time to fire up'
'1003', 'kowalski\'s nuclear reactor'
MySQL Workbench
If you want to avoid writing sql, you can also do it in MySQL Workbench by right clicking on the table, choose "Alter Table ..." in the menu.
When the table structure view opens, go to tab "Options" (on the lower bottom of the view), and set "Auto Increment" field to the value of the next autoincrement number.
Don't forget to hit "Apply" when you are done with all changes.
PhpMyAdmin:
If you are using phpMyAdmin, you can click on the table in the lefthand navigation, go to the tab "Operations" and under Table Options change the AUTO_INCREMENT value and click OK.
With CREATE TABLE statement
CREATE TABLE my_table (
id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
name VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
) AUTO_INCREMENT = 100;
or with ALTER TABLE statement
ALTER TABLE my_table AUTO_INCREMENT = 200;
First you need to add column for auto increment
alter table users add column id int(5) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT FIRST
This query for add column at first.
Now you have to reset auto increment initial value. So use this query
alter table users AUTO_INCREMENT=1001
Now your table started with 1001
You could also set it in the create table statement.
`CREATE TABLE(...) AUTO_INCREMENT=1000`
Alternatively, If you are too lazy to write the SQL query. Then this solution is for you.
Open phpMyAdmin
Select desired Table
Click on Operations tab
Set your desired initial Value for AUTO_INCREMENT
Done..!
For this you have to set AUTO_INCREMENT value
ALTER TABLE tablename AUTO_INCREMENT = <INITIAL_VALUE>
Example
ALTER TABLE tablename AUTO_INCREMENT = 101
Also , in PHPMyAdmin , you can select table from left side(list of tables) then do this by going there.
Operations Tab->Table Options->AUTO_INCREMENT.
Now, Set your values and then press Go under the Table Options Box.
SET GLOBAL auto_increment_offset=1;
SET GLOBAL auto_increment_increment=5;
auto_increment_increment: interval between successive column values
auto_increment_offset: determines the starting point for the AUTO_INCREMENT column value.
The default value is 1.

i understand,below column will be signed int by default.
id INT(6);
Can an auto increment column specified below be signed by default? Mysql starts the value from 1 for an auto increment column.
id INT(6) AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY
Yes, you can create an auto increment primary key with a signed int. Try this:
CREATE TABLE mytable( id int(6) AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY);
Then the following queries are both valid
INSERT INTO mytable values();
INSERT INTO mytable values(-10);
This will result in the table having a row with -10 and another with 1 as values. But you will run into problems if you try this:
ALTER TABLE mytable AUTO_INCREMENT=-10;
yes, you cannot have auto increment values that are negative numbers.
After a lot of searches... I looked for a solution with a TRIGGER called BEFORE INSERT ! I found this : https://stackoverflow.com/a/43441586/2282880
Here is my variant :
CREATE TRIGGER `invertID`
BEFORE INSERT ON `<table>`
FOR EACH ROW SET NEW.id=CONCAT("-", (
SELECT `auto_increment`
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
WHERE table_name = '<table>')
)
It worked for me fine.
It was the best way I found to sync in both directions two databases with same schema without same ID's in my tables.
Assume I am going to emulate auto-increment in MySQL/InnoDB
Conditions
Using MySQL/InnoDB
The ID field don't have unique index, nor it is a PK
Is it possible to emulate only using program logics, without table level lock.
Thanks.
Use a sequence table and a trigger - something like this:
drop table if exists users_seq;
create table users_seq
(
next_seq_id int unsigned not null default 0
)engine = innodb;
drop table if exists users;
create table users
(
user_id int unsigned not null primary key,
username varchar(32) not null
)engine = innodb;
insert into users_seq values (0);
delimiter #
create trigger users_before_ins_trig before insert on users
for each row
begin
declare id int unsigned default 0;
select next_seq_id + 1 into id from users_seq;
set new.user_id = id;
update users_seq set next_seq_id = id;
end#
delimiter ;
insert into users (username) values ('f00'),('bar'),('bish'),('bash'),('bosh');
select * from users;
select * from users_seq;
insert into users (username) values ('newbie');
select * from users;
select * from users_seq;
CREATE TABLE sequence (id INTEGER); -- possibbly add a name;
INSERT INTO sequence VALUES (1); -- starting value
SET AUTOCOMMIT=0;
START TRANSACTION;
UPDATE sequence SET id = LAST_INSERT_ID(id+1);
INSERT INTO actualtable (non_autoincrementing_key) VALUES (LAST_INSERT_ID());
COMMIT;
SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID(); Is even a session-safe value to check which ID you got. Be sure your table support transactions, or that holes in a sequence are no problem.
Create another table with a single row and column that stores the next id value. Then create an insert trigger on the original table that increments the value in the second table, grabs it, and uses that for the ID column on the first table. You would need to be careful with the way you do the select and update to ensure they are atomic.
Essentially you are emulating an Oracle sequence in MySQL. It would cause a lock on single row in the sequence table though, so that may make it inappropriate for what you are doing.
ETA:
Another similar but maybe better performing option would be to create a second "sequence" table that just has a single auto-increment PK column and no other data. Have your insert trigger insert a row into that table and use the generated ID from there to populate the ID in the original table. Then either have the trigger or another process periodically delete all the rows from the sequence table to clean it up.
sequence table need to have id as the autoincrement PK

I am using MySQL 5. I need to set the seed value as 1000 for my auto increment field.
How can I set it?
To set when creating your table:
CREATE TABLE xxx(...) AUTO_INCREMENT = 1000;
To set after creating the table:
ALTER TABLE xxx AUTO_INCREMENT = 1000;
If the table already exists, you can do this:
ALTER TABLE mytable AUTO_INCREMENT = 1000;
But make sure the highest value in the auto_increment column is less than 1000.
If you are creating a new table, you can do this:
CREATE TABLE mytable (id INT UNSIGNED PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT)
AUTO_INCREMENT = 1000;
