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

First you need to add column for auto increment

alter table users add column id int(5) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT FIRST

This query for add column at first. Now you have to reset auto increment initial value. So use this query

alter table users AUTO_INCREMENT=1001

Now your table started with 1001
