MySQL Custom Id generation

I want to autogenerate sequence for a primary key field as a custom Id with auto-increment properties. For example, Id list should be like [P001, P002, P003…]. How can I generate this from normal Id column or otherwise?

CREATE TABLE `product` (
  `id` integer NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
  `name` varchar(45) DEFAULT NULL
};

I have checked and found out solutions to do so in SQL. But I need to know the MySQL workaround for this.

My situation is similar to this question, but it doesn’t work on MySQL.
