I have an database that is rapidly filled with data we talk about 10-20k rows per day.
What is a limit of an ID with and autoincrement option? If ID is created as INTEGER then I can do max value of 2,147,483,647 for unsigned values?
But what when autoincrement goes above this? Does it all collapses? What would be solution then?
I am sure that a lot of people have big databases, and I would like to hear them.
Thank you.
If you are worried about it growing out of bounds too quickly, I would set the PK as an UNSIGNED BIGINT. That gives you a max value of 18446744073709551615, which should be sufficient.
