H2 mode MySQL- AUTO_INCREMENT not supported

Please send a question to the H2 Google Group or StackOverflow first,
and only then, once you are completely sure it is an issue, submit it here.
The reason is that only very few people actively monitor the issue tracker.

Before submitting a bug, please also check the FAQ:

) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=42 CHARSET=utf8;
