Hello
sorry if this is old hat...

i am trying to figure out a way to assign primary keys to my database 
tables.
I have previously used ints with auto_increment but i am wondering what 
happens when you reach the highest number possible for an int... is 
there some way of 'reclaiming' primary keys for the system when an entry 
in a table is removed?
Maybe some sort of system that provides ints from a pool, reclaiming 
them when entries in tables are removed?

cheers

matthew
