The need for an AUTO_INCREMENT field may only be theoretical, and no longer implemented. Alex did make some changes to make the database routines more universal and not need an AUTO_INCREMENT field.

But, looking at the code comments, that is what the field seems to do. What it really does may be another story. Follow the bugger in the code. I've created dozens of tables, and never hit a problem with that.
