AUTO_INCREMENT 컬럼에 NULL 값을 넣으면 MySQL은 시퀀스 번호를 리턴한다.
예시
mysql> Create table employee(id INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT, Name Varchar(10)); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.16 sec) mysql> Insert into employee(id, Name) values(NULL, 'Gaurav'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.07 sec) mysql> Select * from employee; +----+---------+ | id | Name | +----+---------+ | 1 | Gaurav | +----+---------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
