Hi David, the problem is not the sequence. The problem is doubled up ids between the tables. If you try to move an entry with an id that already exists in the deleted* or old* table, the data will get lost. But doubled up ids are also likely to cause even more trouble.

I’ve looked at the wiki page, but I haven’t looked at Bugzilla or the source code. Why on Earth would we get lost data? Shouldn’t we be copying the code to the “deleted*” tables and THEN deleting it from the main table?
In pre-5.7 versions, you could produce this same behaviour by running OPTIMIZE on a table; it would reset the auto increment counter for the table, and it would cause errors because you couldn’t delete records because there was already a record with that key in the deleted* table.
Anyway, I don’t have time to dwell at the moment, but just adding that to the mix.

Hi devs,
Please review and test https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/DBMS_auto_increment_fix
I have added a ref from the Koha on Debian wiki page https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_Debian#Further_Configuration
It sounds like I should add it somewhere more visible, but do not find where, any ideas?
See also bug 18931 where I would like to add a warning on the about page if data are corrupted.
Please review quickly, that way we can share the tips on the general mailing list.
Cheers,
Jonathan
