Error. I don't know the specific error, because I've never tried it. But if you do it with a signed tinyint, you'll only need 128 inserts to find out. :-) > 2> What are those limits? Depends on the column type. Check here for sizes: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Storage_requirements.html An INT is 4 bytes. If you declare it unsigned, that's 2**32 or 2**31 if signed.
