I think a lot of people are going to reply on this but here goes...
4 is not the length but the amount of space that is allowed.
If it where a varchar or char then yes, only 4 characters could be added.
But it is 4 bytes and can store numbers from
-2,147,483,647 to 2,147,483,647. I suppose that you might run into a problem
if you have more than 2.1 billion records on that table.

OK I got it. Now that I have the primary key set with datatype int, the
length is limited to 4. Is this correct and will this limit the table to
9999 records?
Thanks,
Rich

You must set a field to be identity and not null. You can set its seed to
any number (start autonumbering at 1000 for example.)

I have a simple question. How do you set the primary key field to
autonumber in SQL server? I have always used Access where this is a choice
but don't see how to do it with SQL Server 2000.
Thanks,
Rich
