How to reset autocounter()

, , , , ,
1

I did an sql like this:

select autocounter() from customers {maxrows 3}

I get 3 rows with number 1, 2, 3

I then rerun the select and now I get 3 rows back with 4,5,6.

How can I get autocounter() to reset back to 1,2, and 3 with my subsequent run of the select statement?

Thanks.

There is currently no way to reset the counter back to one. The function was created as an easy way to generate a unique identifier. It is a long integer, and will wrap back around to 0 once it reaches the max.

My prior response was not correct. It is possible to reset the counter by using the following SQL statement:

{resetcounter}

Additionally, if you want to seed the counter to a specific value you can use this SQL statement:

{setcounter 123}

Where 123 can be any value.
