Comparing TRUNCATE TABLE:
Any AUTO_INCREMENT value is reset to its initial value. This holds for both Myisam and Innodb, which usually does not occur with sequence values. DELETE FROM TABLE ...
If you delete the record containing the maximum ID "MAX(ID)", if it is an AUTO_INCREMENT column, the value will no longer be updated, either for Myisam or for Innodb. Now, if you delete all records from the table, with DELETE FROM TABLE (without using the WHERE clause) with the automatic confirmation mode, the sequence will be restarted on all Innodb storage engines except Myisam tables. There are some exceptions to this behavior for Innodb tables, as discussed in Section 13.3.5.3, "AUTO_INCREMENT maintenance for Innodb".
For Myisam tables, you can set a new AUTO_INCREMENT secondary column with a Multiple-column type key. This way, you can reuse the deleted values from the beginning of the sequence. See Section 3.6.9, "Use of AUTO_INCREMENT".
