# SHOW TABLE NEXT_ROW_ID

`SHOW TABLE NEXT_ROW_ID` can be used to show the implicitly allocated global Row ID of a table.
`SHOW TABLE NEXT_ROW_ID` is used to show the details of some special columns of a table, including:

- For most of the tables, TiDB allocates a unique number for each record. The max allocated ID is persisted in the storage layer. Each TiDB server applies for a range of IDs on demand and caches them for ID allocation. This syntax can be used to query the next value to allocate, recorded in the storage layer.
- For the tables with integer primary key for optimization, TiDB maps the values in the primary key column to Row ID. Thus, `SHOW TABLE NEXT_ROW_ID` is meaningless for these tables.
* `AUTO_INCREMENT` column automatically created by TiDB, namely, `_tidb_rowid` column.
* `AUTO_INCREMENT` column created by users.
* [`AUTO_RANDOM`](/auto-random.md) column created by users.
* [`SEQUENCE`](/sql-statements/sql-statement-create-sequence.md) created by users.

## Examples

For newly created tables, `NEXT_GLOBAL_ROW_ID` is `1` because no Row ID is allocated.

Data have been written to the table. The TiDB server that inserts the data allocates and caches 30000 IDs at once. Thus, NEXT_GLOBAL_ROW_ID is 30001 now.
