If you do an 
ALTER TABLE table_name MODIFY id INTEGER AUTO_INCREMENT, ADD PRIMARY
KEY(id);
...
The next record entered should be properly auto_incremented.

Subject: Auto_increment and existing table

I've imported Access DB into MySQL, and AutoID was lost. The number in
ID
column exists and I wonder if I update the column from int(10) to
auto_increment, will it replace existing number with MySQL's
auto_increment
number? Or is there a proper way to update from int(10) to
auto_increment
without replacing existing data that are already there?
