I have this migration:
public function up()
{
Schema::create('players', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->increments('id');
$table->char('country_code',2);
$table->integer('unoi_id');
$table->string('first_name');
$table->string('last_name');
$table->char('gender', 1);
$table->timestamp('birthdate');
$table->integer('school_id');
$table->string('school_period');
$table->string('school_level');
$table->integer('points');
$table->timestamps();
});
Schema::table('players', function(Blueprint $table){
$table->foreign('country_code')->references('country_code')->on('countries');
});
}
When I am creating a new record the value in the id's column doesn't start on 1. It starts in something like 321654 and then increments by one each time.
My question is: What can I do to set the default value to 1?
// Your migration here:
Schema::create('players', function (Blueprint $table) {
//
});
//then set auto-increment to 1000
DB::update("ALTER TABLE players AUTO_INCREMENT = 1000;");
See: Set Auto Increment field start form 1000 in migration laravel 5.1
You can use something like this.
ALTER table <table name> AUTO_INCREMENT = <initial value>
table is truncated AUTO_INCREMENT value wont reset. on next insertion it will consider the next incrementing value, even in those cases we can execute the above query to reset the auto increment value
