Reset, renew or change the AutoIncrement values

Asked by Aknot in MySQL

Tags: change, autoincrement, mysql, value, reset

Hi all MySQL devs...

I need to change the AutoInc values to several tables in my MySQL server.
This to several reasons. But I can not find any pointers how to make this possible.

I have, for example a table starting at 1 (id:1) and it' s ending at 98 (id:98).
Now I need this values to starting at 5001 and upwards, eg:
5001, 5002, 5003, 5004 and so on...

When inserting a new id, I need the counter to continue after 5098, and that would be 5099 in this case.
I need the counter to continue working as normal after the changes to new autoincrement series of numbers.

Hope you understand what I mean =)

Im using the Win32 Ed and MySQL Front as editor. I can however access the
mysql-nt.exe if this is needed.
