RE: [PHP-DB] transaction locking

Hi ALek, Yes you can make the column auto_increment. YOu can also make the incrementations start at a particular value by using the ALTER command. EG: ALTER TABLE mytable AUTO_INCREMENT = 99; it will start your next inserted record with 99 for that specific column value. I am not 100% sure about the values that you already have in your field. I assume that they are all unique and that you want to start the increment from the last value +1. anyway hope this helps.
