[Koha-devel] MySQL/MariaDB Auto-increment Persistence

[David Cook]

Hi all,

 

This may or may not have already done the rounds, but I figure it doesn't
hurt to bring it up again, as I just learned about it, so maybe it will be
news to some of you still.

 

MariaDB 10.2.4 (from 17 Feb 2017) has "Persistent AUTO_INCREMENT for InnoDB
(MDEV-6076)". 

 

MySQL 8.0 (I think maybe 8.0.1 from April 2017) has "the current maximum
auto-increment value is persisted, preventing the reuse of previously
allocated values."
(https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/innodb-auto-increment-handling.html
). 

 

I reckon this is great news, as I've found this particular issue to be a
perpetual thorn in my side.
