Hello everyone,
It's not a strictly PHP question, however since I use that with PHP,
I'm asking it there.
How can I accomplish the task of inserting rows into MySql database
with missing IDs? Say, I have rows with IDs 1, 2, 3, 5, 9, 12, 17, and
195. How do I make the check that allows to insert firstly the missing
IDs and only then apply the auto-increment?
Thanks!

Andre:

Why? Why worry about the ID's that are missing?

Does your code depend upon the data being in sequential ID's? If so, it's probably not a good idea to do that and you should rethink how you pull your data.

Cheers,
