It's 32 bit. I'm not sure if it's signed or not but chances are you 
don't need more than 2 billion ids :)

Does anyone know what the range for server-id can be?

Is it a 16 bit number? 32 bit?

I can't seem to find it in the documentation or via google.
   



I did dogpile.com for "my.cnf format server-id" and found:

http://mysqld.active-venture.com/Replication_Options.html

which claims it's a 32-bit non-negative.

"range from 1 to 2^32 - 1"

I dunno if they are authoritative or not, mind you...

32-bit that would have been my first guess, fwiw...

maximum size of mysql server-id field

2005-05-26 Thread David
Does anyone know what the range for server-id can be?

Is it a 16 bit number? 32 bit?

I can't seem to find it in the documentation or via google.

I guess most people just do "server-id = 1" and "server-id = 2" but
for large setups, that becomes difficult to manage and there are
better ways of tying a slave server-id to a machine (last few digits
of MAC addr, IP addr, etc...)

Thanks,
David
