Since the limit you're hitting has nothing to do with the maximum value for an INT, it's unlikely that changing to a BIGINT will solve the problem. It seems that you have a corrupt table, you're running into a bug in MySQL or whatever you're using to access it, or you're doing something wrong. Have you done a CHECK TABLE query? Can you show us the exact code you're using in the program that inserts the records, as well as the exact error message you're getting? Is it happening with every insert, or only some? For good measure, how about the output of "SHOW CREATE TABLE table_name" and "SHOW TABLE STATUS LIKE 'table_name'"? -- Keith C.
