hi everyone

i have delete a few entries in my database as they were entered for testing purposes and are no longer need (actually 102 entries)... and even thought that db is empty i noticed that when the next entry went in the id number went to 103 not 0 so i was wondering is it possible to somehow reset the value to zero...

it is of int type and auto_increment

i have a few db's which id like to reset to zero i have tried placing a zero enrty after deleting the lot but it only jumps to its next increment.
does anyone know what i mean...?
any help will be grateful
regards alex

Select the desired database on the left.  The browser
will reload and show the "STRUCTURE" page.

Click on the SQL tab; the browser should now load a
page with a textarea that says "Run SQL query/queries
on database FOOBAR".

Enter the following in the textarea:

   ALTER TABLE footable auto_increment=0;

and then press the "GO" button.

You can set the auto_increment number to any positive
integer, AFAIK, though there might be a limit.
