I've always just used an unsigned int as my auto increment id column.
But lately been thinking, just how many records can be stored.
Well the answer is for int:
4294967295
and for big int
18446744073709551615
Now usually I'd say an int would be enough but I have come across asituation where I'm worried it won't be.
Does anyone use big int? Would this not just be a best practice?
Can anyone explain?
