    Default reset the members ID and form ID counting

    Hello,

    I have deleted all members and forms of my website past. I thought the ID's would restard counting from 1,2,3 ... both form members and formresults. But it's keep counting where I left it before deleting.

    Is there a way to reset this?

    Thanks in advance.

    Kind Regards,

    That's normal DB behavior. Maybe it starts by 1 again if you delete the table and create a new one. Or try to set them manually.

    But you should not count on the IDs as you can not rely on a numbering as you want it to be. The DB handles the IDs perfectly. Also keep in mind, that the ID is the identification of a datasets and there are many other datasets with relations to this one. So will get a big chaos if you manually handle IDs.
