When attempting to insert an integer into an integer column, a different value is being inserted for the given row. Check out the sql below to see what I mean. The integer 7819359281 is somehow changed to 2147483647 when it's inserted.
Have you considered what the maximum value for an INT column is?
You might want to have a look at this section of the manual:
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Numeric_types.html
Also, see what the end of this section has to say about inserting out-of-range values:
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/INSERT.html
Perhaps someone has experienced this problem and could suggest a fix. I'm using MySQL 4.0.
Your advice will be greatly appereciated.
Thanks,
