I have uploaded my products to MySQL db as a test. Now I want to delete all the products from the table and start over again. I could delete it on View/Edit Products page, but the counting of Catalogid continues. For example, I have deleted all my products (1-20). But when I tried uploading the same newly edited products table, the count started from 21. To reset Catalogid to 1, I was told to do the below:
As for resetting the ID number, you will need to run the following query on your MySQL DB :
Truncate Table Products
Does anyone know how I can do this? |

Hi,
you could create a text file with the query: truncate table products typed in it, and call it something like resetProductIds.txt. Upload this file to your site.
Go to the convertsql.asp page on your site. You may need to upload this page again beacause it is normally deleted during your security checklist (you should find a copy of convertsql.asp in your original VP-ASP files folder)
Type in the name of the text file you just created (resetProductIds.txt) and click convert.
Remove the file convertsql.asp from your live site when you're finished

also, if you're running raw sql statements you could download our freebie:
Advanced SQL Execution:
http://www.bigyellowzone.com/shopexd.asp?id=114
it's a new secured admin page where you can type in any sql statement to execute
if using that, after installing the screen you'd just type in:
truncate table products
into the box and press the continue button to run it
but, there are some raw sql statements which ado can't handle (such as replace) and which need to be done in the actual raw database and not via screens, but truncate should be ok.
