But here goes. Your first field "id" is an auto_increment field this means the counter goes up by every insert. Normally this will start at 1 not 0. So either change the 0 to a higher number or remove the auto_increment part before you import change the 0 after and alter the table to put back auto_increment -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJNbfOvAAoJEMffsHAOnubXC7UP/1k5qA4TDxDnUKrYZLV/rl9s bLRPTQ21riFMIzt0ne14No4+MTwjNtfVAdSnjpCWEZP+Y2MEixaiz8gIcOt9GIOD f9QPJZFEIcVADs3lqeS88eqdgRBNiYy3x2PHyslR3jtuaeFrRvxOLBTgBISq6Ih4 Dd5nRCbo6WObQ5e26HhbDeMJDAnOw4iQMjpoxc6UD9syxkJrORYw6XFvEmJA/QNF RDTNIO7P62ROamGor8urmPdfIemFLyqjD5YAQ64O6aWVHp0ehjO4l1xPWCeI84sV 2g8C3yqi06UjYOE8NHrf64VYcQtvLFkJbzGT6mmPwEP0gBdqX6o2YDwnudv7+APN F5zoVBv/7wygFaP+P0zgJ+EWVML35VfJFuq5VCH3CUk1hROS4X/JtsNXdVkAbaFA BpEhQ4jN0x/34HrI1cWjEUwaUuU6m9XoMIuO+1tQRLFatEW9I5z1c3hrJsPUNImX qSxEGLAZyA7tex++4YFn8DZXWz4mdllI7yejRe0nl1vl4Nn1+t2se/vF0TfZAGdB HgDeUWTdY/N2KeT4z9gPjGEDlRp8Wqo13Sv1yVhzWDdAJQdWaH8+Kk0GCI0jBrgT Pthmjr0e4bKCW19SJtL7/mTRU12qX/kbjMG5JqIh1ixn72qgqcvkTjgvEeQ1Y0DM xBBFUUedwoKevRJI05/2 =mdri -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
