Can Autoincrement find the next free number ?

Hi there !

My Problem is, i have a large table with articles in it. The Articlenumber is Autoincrement.

Now many people delete their articles and the articlenumber would be free now. To prevent the numbers to grow too high, i want to use a free number with the next "INSERT"-Command.
Is that possible ?

I wrote a skript that searches the next number but soon it took about 20 Sekonds to save a new Article.

Would thank you for ideas.

Yours
Marco
