MySQL Auto-Increment ID Reset Guide

In MySQL, the AUTO_INCREMENT keyword can be used to achieve automatic ID incrementing. The specific steps are as follows:

  1. Specify the AUTO_INCREMENT attribute for the ID field when creating the table. For example:
  2. Set up a table called “table_name” with an auto-incrementing ID as the primary key.
  3. When inserting data, there is no need to assign a value to the ID field as MySQL will automatically generate a unique incremental value for it. For example:
  4. Add data into the table by specifying the columns and values you want to insert.
  5. Please note that the ID field value does not need to be specified during the insertion operation.
  6. You can use the LAST_INSERT_ID() function to retrieve the last inserted auto-increment value. For example:
  7. Choose the most recently inserted ID.
  8. This will return the ID value of the last inserted record.

When performing an insert operation, the value of the ID will automatically increase after each insertion, ensuring uniqueness.
