Can someone explain to me why this is happening please:
mysql> SELECT * FROM CustomerDetails WHERE Username=’blah’\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
EntryID: F83D4109-DCA8-426F-98B1-00B4AF117ACB
Username: blah
AccountVolume: 0
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> UPDATE CustomerDetails SET
AccountVolume=GREATEST(CAST(AccountVolume-2865 AS SIGNED), CAST(0 AS SIGNED))
WHERE Username='blah';
ERROR 1690 (22003): BIGINT UNSIGNED value is out of range in
'(`test`.`CustomerDetails`.`AccountVolume` - 2865)'
Using GREATEST, shouldn’t it be irrelevant whether AccountVolume-INT is
signed or unsigned?
The expression you need is something like this,
... = IF(AccountVolume < 2865, 0, AccountVolume-2865)...
, because the complaint arises from the subtraction which turns
negative, which, for UNSIGNED integers, is out of range. The GREATEST is
apply'd after the subtraction.
