Description:
I'm not sure if this problem belongs in the category "MyISAM Table Handler".

Java ODBC interface from <java.sql>
When a "DELETE FROM <db_name>" is done, the records are removed but the Auto_Increment value is not reset to 0 or 1.
The query is entered using the java "Statement" class, function executeUpdate();

My application suffers from this problem after upgrading MySql from a previous version, I'm not sure about the original MySQL release.

How to repeat:
Execute the DELETE instruction.

This is a documented change. If you want to reset the auto-increment
counter, you have to use "TRUNCATE TABLE <tablename>" instead of 
DELETE FROM.

But doesn't this require a restart of mysql?
