Consider the following table:
+-------------+------------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-------------+------------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| vendor_id | int(10) unsigned | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment |
| vendor_name | varchar(100) | NO | UNI | NULL | |
| count | int(10) unsigned | NO | | 1 | |
+-------------+------------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
I have the following MySQL query:
INSERT INTO `table`
(`vendor_name`)
VALUES
('foobar') ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE `count` = `count` + 1
The purpose of this query is to insert a new provider name into the table, and if the supplier name already exists, the number of columns should be increased by 1. This works, however, the primary key of the current column will also be automatically -incremented. How can I prevent MySQL from automatically increasing the primary key in these cases? Is there a way to do this with a single request?
Thank.
