Question

How do I set the initial value for an \"id\" column in a MySQL table that start from 1001?

I want to do an insert \"INSERT INTO users (name, email) VALUES (\'{

Answer 1

For this you have to set AUTO_INCREMENT value

ALTER TABLE tablename AUTO_INCREMENT = <INITIAL_VALUE>

Example

ALTER TABLE tablename AUTO_INCREMENT = 101

Answer 2

Alternatively, If you are too lazy to write the SQL query. Then this solution is for you.

1. Open phpMyAdmin
2. Select desired Table
3. Click on Operations tab
4. Set your desired initial Value for AUTO_INCREMENT
5. Done..!

Answer 3

With CREATE TABLE statement

CREATE TABLE my_table (
  id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  name VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (id)
) AUTO_INCREMENT = 100;

or with ALTER TABLE statement

ALTER TABLE my_table AUTO_INCREMENT = 200;

Answer 4

Also , in PHPMyAdmin , you can select table from left side(list of tables) then do this by going there.
Operations Tab->Table Options->AUTO_INCREMENT.

Now, Set your values and then press Go under the Table Options Box.
