Change starting id number

Question

I have an \'Account\' model in Rails with its corresponding \'accounts\' table in the database. If I wipe the database and start over, the \'account_id\' field will always star

Answer 1

in SQL Server:

execute('DBCC CHECKIDENT (accounts, reseed, 1000)')

In my case, the development environment and the production environment are using different type of database.

This code block will run the relevant execution accordin to DB type - just put it in the relevant migration:

puts 'Migration trys to set initial account ID to adapter:' + ActiveRecord::Base.connection.adapter_name
case ActiveRecord::Base.connection.adapter_name
  when 'MySQL'
    execute('ALTER TABLE accounts AUTO_INCREMENT = 1000')
  when 'SQLServer'
    execute('DBCC CHECKIDENT (accounts, reseed, 1000)')
  when 'SQLite'
    begin
      execute('insert into sqlite_sequence(name,seq) values(\'accounts\', 1000);')
    rescue
      puts 'insert error... updating'
    end
    execute('update sqlite_sequence set seq = 1000 where name = \'accounts\';')
  else
    puts "cant recognize the database"
end
