change auto_increment value in mysql

Question

I want to change auto_increment value in mysql. Right now it's 10. I have gone through this question in stackoverflow.

I tried with

SET @@auto_increment_increment=1;

But when I checked that variable by show variable command then my result was like,

SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'auto_inc%';

+--------------------------+-------+
| Variable_name            | Value |
+--------------------------+-------+
| auto_increment_increment | 10    |
| auto_increment_offset    | 1     |
+--------------------------+-------+

I am running my server on windows azure. Is that any problem with that?

Try executing this

SET GLOBAL auto_increment_increment =1;

You can also set it on table level

ALTER TABLE yourtable AUTO_INCREMENT = 1;
