wildteen88 Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 int can hold upto a maximun of just over 2.1 billion entries - 2,147,483,647 to be exact. If you want to go bigger you can use bigint.

AndyB Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Use UNSIGNED - assuming one db entry per second that gives us 130+ years to solve the problem Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/16472-running-out-of-space/#findComment-68719 Share on other sites More sharing options...
