Hiya,

> I have a PK defined to autoincrement  but it seems to want to start at
1000.
> Is this default or could I have changed it somehow without knowing it?
> Can I reset this?

That's the default, you can change it if you want.
http://instantdb.enhydra.org/software/documentation/types.html

>By default, all AUTO-INCREMENT int columns start at 1,000, and all
AUTO-INCREMENT long columns start at 10,000,000,000. All values increment by
1. You can alter the base value using the command:

SET INCREMENT_BASE {<base>|MAX} ON {<table>.<column> | ALL}

For example, to set the next auto-inc value to 100 you would issue the
command "SET INCREMENT_BASE 100 ON mytable.mycolumn". Sometimes it is
necessary to tell a column that it should find its maximum value and then
allocate auto-increment values above that. This is particularly useful if a
table has been imported from an external source. An example of this would be
something like "SET INCREMENT_BASE MAX ON mytable.mycolumn". If a large
number of tables have been imported then it might be convenient to tell the
database to set all the auto-increment columns to to be one more than their
maximum values. This can be done with: "SET INCREMENT_BASE MAX ON ALL".
