Want to know how category id is updated when we add product at backend?

Code in which file and which parameter is fetching that value?

[vekia]

hello

you mean about product default category?

[Harsh.daffodil]

hi

no when i am deleting a category and inserting the new category then id is not decrementing i.e the new id is +1 of the deleted id.

why?

[vekia]

it's normal, this is how mysql databases works

it's necessary for database consistency

id_category is AUTO_INCREMENT and unique, there is no chance to create two the same unique id_category fields

it mean that if you remove id_category=12 you can't create it once again, you can do it manually, but it's not a good idea...

Thanks

then to get back those id what should we do?

[vekia]

you have to change database manually, there is no other way.

create new category and change id manually in all tables like ps_category, ps_category_lang
