    The limit of an auto_increment column is the size of the column:

    Use a large enough integer data type for the AUTO_INCREMENT column to hold the maximum sequence value you will need. When the column reaches the upper limit of the data type, the next attempt to generate a sequence number fails. For example, if you use TINYINT, the maximum permissible sequence number is 127. For TINYINT UNSIGNED, the maximum is 255.

    The limits of the integer types are:

    TINYINT            - 127
UNSIGNED TINYINT   - 255
SMALLINT           - 32767
UNSIGNED SMALLINT  - 65535
MEDIUMINT          - 8388607
UNSIGNED MEDIUMINT - 16777215
INT                - 2147483647
UNSIGNED INT       - 4294967295
BIGINT             - 9223372036854775807
UNSIGNED BIGINT    - 18446744073709551615
