Setting initial value of a autoincrement field in the database

[Anurag Baidyanath]

I have a field in my models.py file as follows

ticket_id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)

The value for the ticket_id column starts at 1. say i wanted it to start from some value (say 989) . how do i accomplish this using django?

You can't do it in Django directly. If you need to do it you have to go to your DB and use whatever functionality it supports to set an auto id start point.
