Some times we tend to test tables by inserting and deleting rows.
If we have an auto_increment column in the table then even after deleting the auto_increment value would continue to increase.
For example
if we had 5 rows and then deleted those 5.
After this if we tend to insert a new row the value of the auto_increment column would '6',but we would like to have '1'.
So if we want to start the value again from 1 , use the following query:
alter table <table_name> auto_increment=<value>;
ex:
alter table xx auto_increment=10;
After the execution of the above query the next insertion would have the value as '10'.
