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:
- Specify the AUTO_INCREMENT attribute for the ID field when creating the table. For example:
- Set up a table called “table_name” with an auto-incrementing ID as the primary key.
- 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:
- Add data into the table by specifying the columns and values you want to insert.
- Please note that the ID field value does not need to be specified during the insertion operation.
- You can use the LAST_INSERT_ID() function to retrieve the last inserted auto-increment value. For example:
- Choose the most recently inserted ID.
- 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.
