Using AUTO_INCREMENT


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

mysql>
mysql> CREATE TABLE employee (
    ->      id MEDIUMINT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
    ->      name CHAR(30NOT NULL,
    ->      PRIMARY KEY (id)
    ->  );
Query OK, rows affected (0.01 sec)

mysql>
mysql> desc employee;
+-------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field | Type         | Null | Key | Default | Extra          |
+-------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| id    | mediumint(9| NO   | PRI | NULL    | auto_increment |
| name  | char(30)     | NO   |     |         |                |
+-------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
rows in set (0.02 sec)

mysql>
mysql> INSERT INTO employee (nameVALUES ('A'),
    ->                                    ('B'),
    ->                                    ('C'),
    ->                                    ('D'),
    ->                                    ('E'),
    ->                                    ('F');
Query OK, rows affected (0.00 sec)
Records: 6  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 0

mysql>
mysql> SELECT FROM employee;
+----+------+
| id | name |
+----+------+
|  | A    |
