Sorry, my first message and the correction that followed was a bit
confusing. "DELETE FROM .." is not needed at all. You need to do a
SELECT to see what's there, compare with the full entity list, and
only insert the missing records.
Also see Mike's suggestion on how to figure out the right starting
value. It may work as an alternative or an addition to the algorithm
above.

This is not generic enough as you may end up with missing records if
you added a few new tables since the last run (so AUTO_PK_SUPPORT is
there, but its contents are incomplete).
