Question

I have a mysql database. I have a column named id which is also the primary key. I have inserted manually till 25. Now I have written a python code to insert into the database. The code for inserting is

c.execute("""INSERT INTO Website (website_name, enabled) VALUES (%s, 0)""", (store_name))

Now, the problem I am having is that the values in the auto_increment column are arbitrary. Like, the value inserted after 25 is 1116. Is there a way to insert them in increasing order?
Thank you

Answer 1

You can get auto_increment value by lastrowid

c.execute("""INSERT INTO Website (website_name, enabled) VALUES (%s, 0)""", (store_name))
my_last_id = c.lastrowid  # cursor.lastrowid
