Username: Posted January 9, 2012 Author Share Posted January 9, 2012 Didn't edit in time, my apologies. My current structure looks like this: thread -> ---name var(32) ---subject var(128) ---email var(128) ---message longtext(2000) ---last int(11) ---password varchar(128) ---id int(11) <- this is what I need to auto-increment reply -> ---name var(32) ---subject var(128) ---email var(128) ---message longtext(2000) ---password varchar(128) ---id int(11) <- this is what I need to auto-increment I need "id" to be unique over both tables (reply & thread) and consecutive (in thread you'll see 11, and in reply you'll see 12, assuming they were both posted consecutively after eachother) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickstart Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Hi Don't beleive it can be done without playing around with a single counter table to source the values from. All the best Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
