If the question is not clear pllzz comment..

Answer 1

CREATE TABLE t1 (
  `id` BIGINT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT
)
ENGINE = MyISAM
AUTO_INCREMENT = 1234567890;

Edit: A quick note with regards to storage engine support for setting the AUTO_INCREMENT value, which will depend on the version of MySQL you’re running.

From MySQL 5.0 Manual,

In MySQL 5.0, this works for MyISAM
and MEMORY tables. It is also
supported for InnoDB as of MySQL
5.0.3.

From MySQL 5.1 Manual,

In MySQL 5.1, this works for MyISAM,
MEMORY, and InnoDB tables. It also
works for ARCHIVE tables as of MySQL
5.1.6.
