How to divide the table into 1000 part

[oto shavadze]

Hello
There is a table, into the table is a field id.
It is expected that, in this table awaken 1 billion REC.
I want to divide (through partition) this table so that:
Everi part contained one million REC.
I make this so:

PARTITION BY RANGE(id) (
PARTITION p_1 VALUES LESS THAN(1000000),
PARTITION p_2 VALUES LESS THAN(2000000),
PARTITION p_3 VALUES LESS THAN(3000000),
.................
...........


But, I have done this 1000 times by hand.
Question: This is single variant?
There is no way to do this automatically?
Thanks.
