Convert ID
 
Hi all,

I have the following problem: I need to import an SQL table with 3000 records but all without ID, and the target table requires an ID. So the question is: How to generate an unique ID for earch records (starting with max(targettable.id)) ?

Any help would be great!

Something like this?
Code:
CREATE TABLE `name_of_table` (
`id` mediumint(8) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
...
} TYPE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=max(targettable.id) ;
