  1. Dec 24, 2016  MySQL 15 - Auto Increment (AUTOINCREMENT). It makes sense to make the primary key column the AUTOINCREMENT column, but you can create any other column as the AUTOINCREMENT column as long as.
  2. I am trying to alter a table which has no primary key nor autoincrement column. I know how to add an primary key column but I was wondering if it's possible to insert data into the primary key col.
  3. MySQL: Primary Keys. This MySQL tutorial explains how to create and drop a primary key in MySQL with syntax and examples. What is a primary key in MySQL? In MySQL, a primary key is a single field or combination of fields that uniquely defines a record. None of the fields that are part of the primary key can contain a NULL value.
  4. Nov 22, 2018 MySQL has the AUTOINCREMENT keyword to perform auto-increment. The starting value for AUTOINCREMENT is 1, which is the default. It will get increment by 1 for each new record. To get the next auto increment id in MySQL, we can use the function lastinsertid from MySQL or autoincrement with SELECT.
  5. The JPA specification supports 4 different primary key generation strategies which generate the primary key values programmatically or use database features, like auto-incremented columns or sequences. The only thing you have to do is to add the @GeneratedValue annotation to your primary key attribute and choose a generation strategy.

Auto-increment allows a unique number to be generated automatically when a new record is inserted into a table. Often this is the primary key field that we would like to be created automatically every time a new record is inserted. Create Primary Keys.; 2 minutes to read +6; In this article. APPLIES TO: SQL Server 2016 and later Azure SQL Database Azure Synapse Analytics (SQL DW) Parallel Data Warehouse You can define a primary key in SQL Server by using SQL Server Management Studio or Transact-SQL.

Hello,
I am new to MYSQL workbench.
I have a csv file I am trying to import.
I have had it successfully import (sort of)
My data has lots of duplicate data and no one field by itself can serve as a primary key (I can combine some fields if we can't get this working)
I created a field a_id and checked PK, NN, and AI.
I am almost certain I saw the auto-increment work once, but as I am setting things up I have deleted and data and change things and go again -
Now I am getting an error:
ERROR 1366: Incorrect integer value: ' for column 'averaged_historical_forecasts_a_id' at row 1
SQL Statement:
here is 'a' workbench generated statement:
INSERT INTO `temperature_forecasts`.`averaged_historical_forecasts_a` (`Read_Date`, `Read_Time`, `Forecast__Date`, `_Forecast_Time_`, `Start_Hour`, `End_Hour`, `Columbia_ACCU-Weather`, `Columbia__NOAA`, `Lewisburg_ACCU-Weather`, `Lewisburg_NOAA`, `Shelbyville_ACCU-Weather`, `Shelbyville_NOAA`, `Manchester_ACCU-Weather`, `Manchester_NOAA`, `Decherd_ACCU-Weather`, `Decherd_NOAA`, `averaged_historical_forecasts_a_id`) VALUES ('2015-02-05', '7:55', '2015-02-05', ' 8:00 - 9:00', ' 8:00', '9:00', '27.5', '26.5', '27.5', '27', '27.5', '28', '27.5', '28', '29.5', '30', ');
I would have thought the INSERT statement would not include the id and notice the comma at the end before the closing parentheses.
Bottom line - I am trying to import from a csv file some data and not have to create a primary key by combine data within the csv and use the auto-increment but I am doing all of this within the workbench environment
Thanks

The AUTO_INCREMENT attribute can be used to generate a unique identity for new rows:

Which returns:

No value was specified for the AUTO_INCREMENT column, so MySQL assigned sequence numbers automatically. You can also explicitly assign 0 to the column to generate sequence numbers, unless the NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO SQL mode is enabled. For example:

If the column is declared NOT NULL, it is also possible to assign NULL to the column to generate sequence numbers. For example:

When you insert any other value into an AUTO_INCREMENT column, the column is set to that value and the sequence is reset so that the next automatically generated value follows sequentially from the largest column value. For example:

Updating an existing AUTO_INCREMENT column value also resets the AUTO_INCREMENT sequence.

You can retrieve the most recent automatically generated AUTO_INCREMENT value with the LAST_INSERT_ID() SQL function or the mysql_insert_id() C API function. These functions are connection-specific, so their return values are not affected by another connection which is also performing inserts.

Use the smallest integer data type for the AUTO_INCREMENT column that is large enough to hold the maximum sequence value you will need. When the column reaches the upper limit of the data type, the next attempt to generate a sequence number fails. Use the UNSIGNED attribute if possible to allow a greater range. For example, if you use TINYINT, the maximum permissible sequence number is 127. For TINYINT UNSIGNED, the maximum is 255. See Section 11.1.2, “Integer Types (Exact Value) - INTEGER, INT, SMALLINT, TINYINT, MEDIUMINT, BIGINT” for the ranges of all the integer types.

For a multiple-row insert, LAST_INSERT_ID() and mysql_insert_id() actually return the AUTO_INCREMENT key from the first of the inserted rows. This enables multiple-row inserts to be reproduced correctly on other servers in a replication setup.

To start with an AUTO_INCREMENT value other than 1, set that value with CREATE TABLE or ALTER TABLE, like this:

For information about AUTO_INCREMENT usage specific to InnoDB, see Section 15.6.1.6, “AUTO_INCREMENT Handling in InnoDB”.

  • For MyISAM tables, you can specify AUTO_INCREMENT on a secondary column in a multiple-column index. In this case, the generated value for the AUTO_INCREMENT column is calculated as MAX(auto_increment_column) + 1 WHERE prefix=given-prefix. This is useful when you want to put data into ordered groups.

    Which returns:

    In this case (when the AUTO_INCREMENT column is part of a multiple-column index), AUTO_INCREMENT values are reused if you delete the row with the biggest AUTO_INCREMENT value in any group. This happens even for MyISAM tables, for which AUTO_INCREMENT values normally are not reused.

  • If the AUTO_INCREMENT column is part of multiple indexes, MySQL generates sequence values using the index that begins with the AUTO_INCREMENT column, if there is one. For example, if the animals table contained indexes PRIMARY KEY (grp, id) and INDEX (id), MySQL would ignore the PRIMARY KEY for generating sequence values. As a result, the table would contain a single sequence, not a sequence per grp value.
