auto-increment???
Posted: Tue Jun 18, 2002 1:16 pm
Hello There,
I guess this is a silly question, but I ask it anyway: A tutorial told me to set the field for the ID to auto-increment. I know how to do it, but I could not find any clues what auto-increment means and what it does with the data in the table. I've checked the mysql-manual and even searched the web with Google to find an answer. Maybe I'm the only one who doesn't know. So please help me.
Thanks, Axel
