MySQL - Sequences

To create a sequence on a column of a table through a JavaScript program, we need to specify auto_increment for a specific column while creating the table using the query() function of mysql2 library as follows −

sql = "CREATE TABLE insect (id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,PRIMARY KEY (id),name VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,date DATE NOT NULL,origin VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL)";
con.query(sql);

To create a sequence on a column of a table through a Java program, we need to specify auto_increment for a specific column while creating the table using the JDBC function execute() as follows −

String sql = "CREATE TABLE insect (id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,PRIMARY KEY (id),name VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,date DATE NOT NULL,origin VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL)";
statement.execute(sql);

To create a sequence on a column of a table through a Python program, we need to specify auto_increment for a specific column while creating the table using the execute() function of the MySQL Connector/Python as follows −

create_table_query = "CREATE TABLE insect (id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, PRIMARY KEY (id), name VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL, date DATE NOT NULL, origin VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL)"
cursorObj.execute(create_table_query)

var mysql = require('mysql2');
var con = mysql.createConnection({
host:"localhost",
user:"root",
password:"password"
});

 //Connecting to MySQL
 con.connect(function(err) {
 if (err) throw err;
//   console.log("Connected successfully...!");
//   console.log("--------------------------");
 sql = "USE TUTORIALS";
 con.query(sql);
 //create table
 sql = "CREATE TABLE insect (id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,PRIMARY KEY (id),name VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,date DATE NOT NULL,origin VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL)";
 con.query(sql, function(err, result){
    if (err) throw err;
    console.log("Table created successfully....!");
    });
//now let's insert some record
sql = "INSERT INTO insect (id,name,date,origin) VALUES(NULL,'housefly','2001-09-10','kitchen')";
con.query(sql, function(err, result){
    if (err) throw err;
    console.log("First record inserted successfully...!");
    });
sql = "INSERT INTO insect (id,name,date,origin) VALUES(NULL,'millipede','2001-09-10','driveway')";
con.query(sql, function(err, result){
    if (err) throw err;
    console.log("Second record inserted successfully...!");
    });
sql = "INSERT INTO insect (id,name,date,origin) VALUES(NULL,'grasshopper','2001-09-10','front yard')";
    con.query(sql, function(err, result){
    if (err) throw err;
    console.log("Third record inserted successfully...!");
    });
sql = "SELECT * FROM INSECT";
con.query(sql, function(err, result){
console.log("Table records(with ID auto_increment sequence).");
    if (err) throw err;
    console.log(result);
    });
});

The output obtained is as shown below −
