Moving forwards, am I going to have a problem at some point if I store Tweet IDs from the Twitter API as an unsigned BIGINT in MySQL?
Am I better off using a CHAR(25) or something? The Tweet IDs are only going to get bigger and bigger over time.
an unsigned bigint can hold a value in the range of 0 to 18446744073709551615 (a really big number)
if there are say approx. 52 billion tweets per year then:
so I think you’d be safe 😛
