Subject: is it possible to get around 4 billion row limit
Hi,
I want to create a table with a lot (8 billion)
small fixed-length records.
I thought setting MAX_ROWS in the create table
would do this for me, but it looks like it quietly
ignores values over 4.2 billion.
Is this a hard-limit in MySQL ?
Does MySQL 4.0.x have the same limitation ?
(MySQL v3.23.51)
regards,
Martin
eg.
CREATE TABLE `txn_tag` (
txn_id int unsigned not null,
`tag_id` smallint unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`value_id` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
unique KEY (txn_id, tag_id, value_id),
KEY `tag_id` (`tag_id`,`value_id`),
KEY `value_id` (`value_id`,`tag_id`)
) max_rows=8000000000;
show table status like 'txn_tag'\G
