Primary key

[mutant]

I set a id field as my primary key and assigned a default value but when I test, it wont follow my default value, why? I assigned it with a value of 1 but instead will generate this 54869. Any suggestion?

Primary keys are 'unique' by default. That means that setting a default value is useless because you may not ever insert the same value twice.

The 54869 is probably generated by the database itself, either through setting the column to 'auto_increment' (mysql) or serial (informix/postgres/oracle)
That wil automatically generate a new and unique number to be inserted into the primarykey field.

Coz I want to assigned a default value and let it auto increment itself. And I want to assign this field as my primary key. Is there other way to solve this problem?

You may want to grab your database's manual are read up on the use of default values and auto_increment.

The two have nothing to do with eachother.
