shlomikalfa Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 hello there. whenever i delete somethin in my table the auto_increment seems to just move on as if nothing had happend and i'd like it to fix it's own index to the new next index so that there won't be gaps in my table... is there any MYSQL command that does that ?! please help.

trq Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 If you are relying on the indexes to be incremental you are doing something wrong.

fenway Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 there is no way to have the table's indexes automatically fixed ?! It's not broken, there's nothing to fix -- you had rows there with the UIDs in between, then you deleted them... so what? Leave this number alone, nothing outside the application should ever see it, and you should never be exposing it.
