Hi,

I have 2 questions regarding the auto increment datatype in mysql.

Q1) Since we all know that if we create an auto increment column, it will start from the number '1' but is there a way we can force it to start with the number '300' and it should increment to 301 on the next new record inserted then 302 and so on?


Q2) Is there a way to make the auto increment field prefixed by 000? For example instead of making it run from the number '1' it should auto increment in this method '001' then 002 and so on?

Thanx
