What you're trying to do is impossible. TINYINT takes one byte, and
has a range of -128 to 127. There's no way to get a larger value unless
you do one of the following:
- Declare your column to be UNSIGNED. That changes the range to 0-255,
but will only extend your range by 128 values.
- Declare your column using a larger integer type.
