Let us learn how to setup the dbeaver auto increment mysql. With the support of our MySQL support services at Bobcares we will learn more about this feature and how to set it up.

Auto increment feature in MySQL

“Auto-increment” is a MySQL feature that allows the database to produce a unique numeric value for each new row added to a table.

This can generate primary key. These are unique identifiers for each row in a table. The auto-increment functionality in MySQL is done by using the “AUTO_INCREMENT” property on a column.

How to setup Auto-increment in DBeaver for a MySQL Database?

Follow these steps to configure auto-increment in DBeaver for a MySQL database:

1. Firstly, connect to the MySQL database using DBeaver.
2. After that, expand the database containing the table we wish to set for auto-increment in the left pane.
3. Expand the “Tables” folder and choose the table to configure.
4. After that, select “Edit Table” from the context menu by right-clicking on the table.
5. Select the column that we want to configure for auto-increment under the “Columns” tab.
6. After that, check the “Auto Increment” checkbox under the “Properties” section.
7. Set the “Start Value” and “Increment By” values to anything you choose.
8. Finally, to save the changes, click “OK.”

When we enable auto-increment for a table column, MySQL will produce a unique numeric value. It will do this for that column when adding a new table.

The “star value” determines the beginning value and increment value for the auto-increment functionality. And “Increment By” settings that we provide in DBeaver.

The “Start Value” and “Increment By” values are both set to 1 by default.
