Question

The item_category_id column is auto increment value in the mysql table.

I need to delete all the values & next insertion should start from 1. If i delete all values & try to insert a new row then it starts with some 30’s & 40’s.

  item_category_id  item_category_name
    1                     qqq
    25                    ccc
    32                    vvv
    29                    bb
    4                     bbb
    31                    hhh
    34                    mmm
    33                    rrr

Answer 1

ALTER TABLE TABLENAME AUTO_INCREMENT = 1

Instead of using Delete if you use Truncate that will remove data and will also reset autoincrement.

TRUNCATE TABLE TABLENAME
