I have got a project where the previous 'person' put all sorts of
values, quite often int(10), which works, but just seems very
inefficient.  Either the table must run more slowly or space is wasted,
I can't see it being neither.

I haven't tested int(10) to destruction, though, I have just changed it.
There was no reason for it anyway.

I hate to disagree (he lied <G>) but adding an autoinc field will make
that field automatically renumber itself.
