Hello all... What is the maximum value of an AUTO_INCREMENT field? I am currently running into a maximum value of 296,995,724 on Solaris 8 using MySQL 3.23.42 - the field has been defined as an INT(11), which should be able to handle a value bigger than what I am seeing - The DuBois MySQL book states it should handle 2^31 which turns out to be 2,147,483,648
Is there another setting specifc for AUTO_INCREMENT? If I changed the field's datatype to BIGINT would I be able to achieve higher values? Does anyone out there have other techniques they use in place of AUTO_INCREMENT? Please include my direct email when repsonding - Thanks... -- Bill Hess Technology Resource Group --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
