OTHER TIPS

The Answer of Brian Fisher is correct, but there is another way if you want to try it in code. Just Click on the database, go to SQL and type for example the following code:

CREATE TABLE Player (
id MEDIUMINT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
username CHAR(30) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
)

Explanation:
MEDIUMINT:
INT with minimum Value -8388608 and maxmimum Value 8388607
or minimum Value 0 and maxmimum Value 16777215

NOT NULL (Two operators in one):
This value may never be empty

AUTO_INCREMENT:
What you where looking for
The AUTO_INCREMENT attribute can be used to generate a unique identity for new rows.
