Aside from it not being a recommended practice, to put it mildly, that you update primary key values (possible referential inconsistency), I'm not aware of this behaviour in MyISAM, either. An autoincrement is assigned if, and only if you assign NULL or (zero) to an autoincrement column during an insert. If your application behaves differently, it is probably already done either in the application, or possibly through the use of triggers. -- Bier met grenadyn Is als mosterd by den wyn Sy die't drinkt, is eene kwezel Hy die't drinkt, is ras een ezel
