Resetting Contact ID number for fresh import
January 05, 2010, 08:59:42 am
This may not be precisely the correct area to ask this, but I am importing Access records via a mysql script.  After endless testing, we are ready to do a final import of the data and launch Civi.  However, b/c of the endless testing, our user ID numbers are now starting at 30,000.  I realize this is not crucial, but is there a way to reset the count?  Only one record (mine, the admin) really needs to stay the same, though that is not crucial.  I am just not seeing where the auto-increment in the contact table knows where to start again. 

Thanks,
Maria

check the mysql manual. you can do this from mysql command line. u'll need to ensure that all the other tables linked to contact id are also reset appropriately
