Autonumber

This tutorial is a continuation of our previous topic called “Part III: Generating Autonumber using PHP/MySQL”. At this time, we’re going to continue our lesson focusing on updating and deleting of autonumber.

In some of our previous tutorial, we discuss how to Create, Read, Update and Delete using object-oriented programmming approach. This tutorial is a continuation of our previous topic called "Part II: Updating and Deleting of MySQL data using an OOP approach in PHP". But this time we’re going to focus on how to generate autonumber. This autonumber can be used as a unique id in your aside from your database.

In this lesson, I’m going to show you how to generate a customize autonumber using visual basic and Microsoft access as our database. We can use this autonumber to identify a unique record in a table, and it should only one autonumber field is allowed in each table. In our situation, we will generate autonumber by this mechanism start with the start and increment with the increment value. Meaning a Start value plus the Increment value.
