mysql auto_increment by 5?

Question

I\'m running into a really, really, really weird problem with mysql.

I have a primary key, \"id\". It\'s set to auto increment. Problem is, first entry started at \"

Answer 1

There's a my.cnf configuration for that: auto_increment_increment. It's used for master-master server setups to prevent the same key from being defined twice by two different servers. So using that coupled with auto_increment_offset, it allows each server to always generate unique ids...

So, from what you're describing, it sounds like you have this:

auto_increment_increment = 5
auto_increment_offset = 3
