Hi there, I would like to find out the maximum (signed or unsigned) integer from MySQL.
SELECT CAST( POW(2,100) as UNSIGNED) as max_int; # max_int | 9223372036854775808 This seems to be a MAX_BIGINT from the lookup table at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/numeric-types.html Is there a way to get the MAX_INT ? Is there a constant or a function I can use to get this? I could do SELECT @MAX_SIGNED := POW(2,31) -1 ; but wondering if there is a built in way to do it. I have tested the above on 2 machines. Both linux. (5.0.83 on 64bit) and (5.1.37 on 32bit).
