Re: AUTO_INCREMENT when column maximum is reached

If your table gets to within 1 of the limiting value for an auto_increment column, the table is growing faster than anticipated, that's a design failure---there always needs to be ample headroom.

If your schema, its rules, or any apps using it depend on gapless auto_increment sequences, that's another design mistake. Fix that by providing your own sequencing function.
