Question

I have a table already created. I am looking for a rails migration where I can modify the starting point of the auto_increment number for id column of my table. Let’s say I want it to start from 1000.

I googled a bit and came across this:

it says:

:options “string” pass raw options to
your underlying database, e.g.
auto_increment = 10000. Note that
passing options will cause you to lose
the default ENGINE=InnoDB statement

Can this be used for something I want? and how will the migration look since i am changing the column and not creating new one…

Answer 1

You can use raw execute method

execute ("ALTER TABLE your_table_name AUTO_INCREMENT = 10000")
