Looks like the AUTO_INCREMENT value got set to something higher at some point - like if a new entry for some reason had its PK ID manually set to "1009" before being added. I'd guess you will need to manually fix the errant entries (if safe to do so) then manually set the AUTO_INCREMENT value back to the next-higher ID.

ALTER TABLE `TABLE_NAME` auto_increment = 35;

Sequence number is very much important for business. Based on that number only they are identifying the number of records submitted and also we are showing this field everywhere.

In which way is it important to have no gaps?

I am the one who is working on this and I am sure no one deleted the data and also not touched IDENTITY column setting.

-> did somebody delete the other DB entries?
-> got the unique key counter somehow setted to 1009?
