Question

I have a table with an auto-increment integer field “ID”. Let’s say there’s a hundred records in it, and I delete records 91 – 100. The next record I create I’d expect the ID field to be 91, but it isn’t, it’s 101.
Is there any way to get around this? Thanks guys.

You can manually set auto_increment after delete operation as:

ALTER TABLE table_name AUTO_INCREMENT = 91;
