向现有表中添加自动增量 ID? ？

If you want to add AUTO_INCREMENT in an existing table, need to run following SQL command:

 ALTER TABLE users ADD id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT primary key

Well, you must first drop the auto_increment and primary key you have and then add yours, as follows:

-- drop auto_increment capability
alter table `users` modify column id INT NOT NULL;
-- in one line, drop primary key and rebuild one
alter table `users` drop primary key, add primary key(id);
-- re add the auto_increment capability, last value is remembered
alter table `users` modify column id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT;

Try this

ALTER TABLE `users` ADD `id` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT;

for an existing primary key

ALTER TABLE users CHANGE id int( 30 ) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT

the integer parameter is based on my default sql setting have a nice day

If you don't care whether the auto-id is used as PRIMARY KEY, you can just do

ALTER TABLE `myTable` ADD COLUMN `id` INT AUTO_INCREMENT UNIQUE FIRST;

I just did this and it worked a treat.

Check for already existing primary key with different column. If yes, drop the primary key using:

ALTER TABLE Table1
DROP CONSTRAINT PK_Table1_Col1
GO

and then write your query as it is.

ALTER TABLE users ADD id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT primary key FIRST

First you have to remove the primary key of the table

ALTER TABLE nametable DROP PRIMARY KEY

and now yo can add the autoincrement ...

ALTER TABLE nametable ADD id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY

Proceed like that :

Make a dump of your database first


Remove the primary key like that

ALTER TABLE yourtable DROP PRIMARY KEY

Add the new column like that

ALTER TABLE yourtable add column Id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT FIRST, ADD primary KEY Id(Id)

The table will be looked and the AutoInc updated.

Just change the ADD to MODIFY and it will works !

Replace

ALTER TABLE users ADD id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT

To

ALTER TABLE users MODIFY id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT;

Delete the primary key of a table if it exists:

 ALTER TABLE `tableName` DROP PRIMARY KEY;

Adding an auto-increment column to a table :

ALTER TABLE `tableName` ADD `Column_name` INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT;

Modify the column which we want to consider as the primary key:

alter table `tableName` modify column `Column_name` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY;

ALTER TABLE `table` ADD `id` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT unique

Try this. No need to drop your primary key.

If you run the following command :

ALTER TABLE users ADD id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY;

This will show you the error :

ERROR 1060 (42S21): Duplicate column name 'id'

This is because this command will try to add the new column named id to the existing table.

To modify the existing column you have to use the following command :

ALTER TABLE users MODIFY id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY;

This should work for changing the existing column constraint....!

For PostgreSQL you have to use SERIAL instead of auto_increment.

ALTER TABLE your_table_name ADD COLUMN id SERIAL NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY

This SQL request works for me :

ALTER TABLE users
CHANGE COLUMN `id` `id` INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ;

Drop the primary index from the table:

ALTER TABLE `tableName` DROP INDEX `PRIMARY`;

Then add the id column (without a primary index). I have used a big int because I am going to have lots of data but INT(11) should work just as well:

ALTER TABLE `tableName` ADD COLUMN `id` BIGINT(11) NOT NULL FIRST;

Then modify the column with auto-increment (thanks php). It needs to be a primary key:

ALTER TABLE `tableName ` MODIFY COLUMN `id` BIGINT(11) UNSIGNED PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT;

I have just tried this on a table of mine and it appears to have worked.

If you want to add an id with a primary key and identity:

ALTER TABLE user ADD id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT FIRST , ADD PRIMARY KEY (id);
