Reset AutoIncrement Number in MySQL

To reset your autoincrement number, you can simply run the following SQL:

ALTER TABLE 'table_name' AUTO_INCREMENT = X

Where X is the ID number you want to set the increment start point to, so running

ALTER TABLE 'table_name' AUTO_INCREMENT = 0

resets the ID increment process, and

ALTER TABLE 'table_name' AUTO_INCREMENT = 1023

Would set the start seed to 1023 - sometimes useful for making things looked "used", for example with order systems.
