add a prefix "s_" to an auto incremented id field on a student table, Phpmyadmin

Question

Hi i have a table name student like below

student(student_id, name, dateofbirth, email, password);

the student_id field is auto incremented. I am trying to find an option or way to add a prefix "s_" to my student_id field but I cant seem to. Is it not possible on database application on PHPMyADMIN ?? Thank you.

Answer 1

The auto increment field can be ONLY integer of value. Placing an s_ is not possible. Either add the prefix in the MySQL query, or use a view, or you can use another column instead.
