How to insert own values into auto_increment column in MySQL?
You can achieve this with the help of INSERT statement i.e, you can simply insert it like a normal insert. The syntax is as follows −
INSERT INTO yourTableName (yourIdColumnName,yourColumnName) values(value1,'value2'); Let us first create a table: mysql> create table InsertValueInAutoIncrement -> ( -> UserId int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, -> UserName varchar(20) -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.59 sec)
Now you can insert some records in the table using insert command. Here, we are also inserting our own values for the auto_increment field UserId. The query is as follows −
mysql> insert into InsertValueInAutoIncrement(UserName) values('John');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.19 sec)
mysql> insert into InsertValueInAutoIncrement(UserName) values('Carol');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec)
mysql> insert into InsertValueInAutoIncrement(UserName) values('Sam');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec)
mysql> insert into InsertValueInAutoIncrement(UserName) values('Bob');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec)
mysql> insert into InsertValueInAutoIncrement(UserId,UserName) values(100,'Maxwell');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec)
mysql> insert into InsertValueInAutoIncrement(UserName) values('James');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.20 sec)
mysql> insert into InsertValueInAutoIncrement(UserId,UserName) values(1000,'Larry');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec)Display all records from the table using a select statement. The query is as follows −
mysql> select *from InsertValueInAutoIncrement;
The following is the table −
+--------+----------+ | UserId | UserName | +--------+----------+ | 1 | John | | 2 | Carol | | 3 | Sam | | 4 | Bob | | 100 | Maxwell | | 101 | James | | 1000 | Larry | +--------+----------+ 7 rows in set (0.00 sec)
