CREATE TABLE new_table_name LIKE old_table_name with old_table_name's AUTO_INCREMENT values

auto-increment, create-table, mysql, sql-like

Solution

mysql> `create table new_table like old_table;`

mysql> `select @my_auto_increment:=auto_increment from information_schema.tables where table_name='old_table';`

mysql> `set @query = CONCAT("alter table new_table auto_increment = ", @my_auto_increment);`

mysql> `prepare stmt from @query;`

mysql> `execute stmt;`

mysql> `deallocate prepare stmt;`

Thx to my brother!

Problem

Can I create a new table with an old table's autoincriment status in mysql client? I think, that `ALTER TABLE new_table_name AUTO_INCREMENT=@my_autoincr_iment` helps me, but this construction must use with a constant value. I don't want to use a difficult script.
