How to add auto-increment to column in mysql database using phpmyadmin?

Question

I\'ve been trying to add auto-increment to one of my columns (basically an ID) but I can\'t find the auto-increment option for my column. Any idea where it is?

Answer 1

To use the GUI:

Click the STRUCTURE tab to see the list of existing fields

To set a field as the PRIMARY FIELD, click the gold key -- it will turn silver.

To set a field (usually the same field) as auto-increment:
a. Click CHANGE for that field
b. Look to the far right and checkmark the AI box
c. Click SAVE button
