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

The auto increment is probably set to 5. Try:

ALTER TABLE YourTable AUTO_INCREMENT = 1;

You can retrieve the current setting with:

SHOW TABLE STATUS LIKE 'YourTable'

See the MySQL docs for more details.
