How to reset autoincrement _key value in arangodb?

Question

I want to reset autoincrement _key value in arangodb. How?

Answer 1

I do not know of a way to reset the auto increment in place. But how about:

• creating a new collection
• inserting all the data from the existing table , if any (without specifying the _key in the insert so the data gets a new _key).
• Deleting the old collection (after verifying the data was properly inserting in the new table).
• And finally, renaming the new table to the old table's name.
