Is there a way to set the id value of new Django objects to start at a certain value?

Question

Is there a way to set the counter of id values for objects in Django?

For example I have an set of objects \'Video\' that are currently at id=100 the next time I create

Answer 1

You can specify the ID when you create the object, as long as you do it before you save:

new = Video()
new.id = 2000
new.save()

You could just calculate the ID you wanted each time - though I'm not sure what's wrong with Django's auto ID fields ;)
