auto_increment_increment
controls the interval between successive column values. For example:
mysql>SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'auto_inc%';
+--------------------------+-------+ | Variable_name | Value | +--------------------------+-------+ | auto_increment_increment | 1 | | auto_increment_offset | 1 | +--------------------------+-------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec) mysql>CREATE TABLE autoinc1
->(col INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.04 sec) mysql>SET @@auto_increment_increment=10;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) mysql>SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'auto_inc%';
+--------------------------+-------+ | Variable_name | Value | +--------------------------+-------+ | auto_increment_increment | 10 | | auto_increment_offset | 1 | +--------------------------+-------+
