Hi. Usually, Any AUTO_INCREMENT field in MySql table will have always an incrementing value. Now Suppose I emptied the table and then inserted one record, why not this record LAST_INSERT_ID is not '1' or '0' and why it is the lastid+1 before I empty the table? Can't I reset that pointer w/ deleting the table and creating it again?
