Question

I just deleted a row from my mysql table.

Now whenever I write the statement “INSERT INTO myTable” a new row is added at the position in the table where the last row was deleted.

How do I modify the “INSERT INTO myTable” statement so that rows are added to the bottom of the table?

EDIT:

For clarification this is the php code I use to print the stuff in the database

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM People") 
or die(mysql_error());  

echo "<table border='1'>";
echo "<tr><th>FirstName</th> <th>LastName</th></tr>";

while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result )) {
    // Print out the contents of each row into a table
    echo "<tr><td>"; 
    echo $row['FirstName'];
    echo "</td><td>"; 
    echo $row['LastName'];
    echo "</td></tr>";
} 
echo "</table>";

And it’s printing the last row I added in the middle of the table in the same position of the last row that I deleted.

This actually depends on storage engine and primary key. But better do not rely on the phisical order of the data, but specify ORDER BY in your queries.
