Barand Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 ID values are unique identifiers given to records on insert and, once allocated, should never change. Your application should work exactly the same if MySql allocated ids randomly instead of sequentially (easier and quicker). If they were allocated randomly, where would you put your new record? What is there about that record that makes it imperative that it go between 1 and 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
