Re: Change AutoIncrement Value

I believe if you copy all the values (minus the auto_increment column) to another table then copy them back, all the auto_increment values will be re-generated. I haven't really tested this though.

If you just want to change the auto_increment value, use this:

ALTER TABLE tbl AUTO_INCREMENT = 100;
