AUTO_INCREMENT

Hallo, here i am with another simple question :) ?

I created a table with an auto_increment field.

After inserting some rows and after delete those rows... when I insert a new row (so the first row) the field doesn't start from 1, but from the last row-number inserted.

See this:

create table T(id integer not null autoincrement primary key);

suppose I insert 5 rows...

T is filled with five rows with id=1,2,3,4,5

delete from T;

T is empty...

insert into T values (null);

----
|id|
----
|6 |
----

How can I solve this problem??

Thanks again
