is there any way to auto_increment backwards (-1, -2, -3) in mysql? or to have an ID which increments like this: J193 J194 J195 j196
etc?

I don't think this is possible within MySQL, or any other DB that I know of. If you are using hibernate you could write your own id generator. Otherwise I think you would have to lock the table, query for the last id, then generate the next one all in your java code.
