Question

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `MyTable` (
  `ID` SMALLINT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `Name` VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`ID`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

INSERT INTO MyTable (ID,Name) VALUES (ID=4,Name='xxx')

or

INSERT INTO MyTable (Name) VALUES (Name='xxx')

The problem is that both INSERT statements produce the entry (4,0). Why 0 instead of “xxx”?

UPDATE: Primary key changed.

Answer 1

This should do the job :

INSERT INTO MyTable (ID, Name) VALUES (4, 'xxx')
