Hey community, I’m running Server version: 10.3.13-MariaDB-1:10.3.13+maria~bionic-log mariadb.org binary distribution of mariaDB (galera cluster). For local development we are not using galera, inside our local dev team we’re using Server version: 5.7.26-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 (Ubuntu). After creating a table, I’ve started to run the database create commands, working fine, but when I run the database seeder, inserting some system config values to be used by the application itself later, I’ve got some strange behavior. See the table below: MariaDB [demo_database]> select * from system_configs WHERE 1=1; +----+------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | id | key | value | +----+------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | 4 | admin_address | XXXXXX | | 7 | XXXXXX | XXXXXX | | 10 | XXXXXX | XXXXXX | | 13 | XXXXXX | XXXXXX | | 16 | XXXXXX | XXXXXX | | 19 | XXXXXX | XXXXXX | | 22 | XXXXXX | XXXXXX | | 25 | XXXXXX | XXXXXX | | 28 | XXXXXX | XXXXXX | | 31 | XXXXXX | XXXXXX | | 34 | XXXXXX | XXXXXX | | 37 | XXXXXX | XXXXXX | | 40 | XXXXXX | XXXXXX | | 43 | XXXXXX | XXXXXX | | 46 | XXXXXX | XXXXXX | | 49 | XXXXXX | XXXXXX | | 52 | XXXXXX | XXXXXX | | 55 | XXXXXX | XXXXXX | | 58 | XXXXXX | XXXXXX | | 61 | XXXXXX | XXXXXX | | 64 | XXXXXX | 21600 | | 67 | XXXXXX | XXXXXX | | 70 | XXXXXX | https://some.domain.com | +----+------------------------------------+——————————————————————————————————+ Where XXXXXX stands for the key and XXXXXX for the value. The problem is the id itself. It’s somehow starting at 4 and is incremented by 3. As you may suspect now already, this will break our application, since some primary key ids are hard coded itself. Is there some way to „force“ maria DB to increment the IDs by „1“? I already this documentation entry: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/auto_increment/ <https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/auto_increment/> But it doesn’t help, here’s what I tried: MariaDB [demo_database]> CREATE TABLE animals ( -> id MEDIUMINT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, -> name CHAR(30) NOT NULL, -> PRIMARY KEY (id) -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.014 sec) MariaDB [demo_database]> INSERT INTO animals (name) VALUES -> ('dog'),('cat'),('penguin'), -> ('fox'),('whale'),('ostrich'); Query OK, 6 rows affected (0.003 sec) Records: 6 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0 MariaDB [demo_database]> MariaDB [demo_database]> SELECT * FROM animals; +----+---------+ | id | name | +----+---------+ | 4 | dog | | 7 | cat | | 10 | penguin | | 13 | fox | | 16 | whale | | 19 | ostrich | +----+---------+ 6 rows in set (0.001 sec) MariaDB [demo_database]> ALTER TABLE animals AUTO_INCREMENT=20; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.011 sec) Records: 0 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0 MariaDB [demo_database]> INSERT INTO animals (name) VALUES ('aardvark'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.002 sec) MariaDB [demo_database]> INSERT INTO animals (name) VALUES ('aardvark'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.003 sec) MariaDB [demo_database]> SELECT * FROM animals; +----+----------+ | id | name | +----+----------+ | 4 | dog | | 7 | cat | | 10 | penguin | | 13 | fox | | 16 | whale | | 19 | ostrich | | 25 | aardvark | | 28 | aardvark | +----+----------+ 8 rows in set (0.000 sec) MariaDB [demo_database]> exit Bye I’m unable to find a way to force mariaDB to use increment by 1, starting at 1, as our local mariaDB „development“ version does too. All the best from Germany; Janis
