Re: MySQL Duplicate entry on Create Error

Never say never. There may well be cases where a tinyint is
sufficient. I agree that it is bad bad bad if you are going to let the
user add/delete rows willy nilly (in which case you can hit the
ceiling as TimG did), but I have often used an autoincrementing
tinyint in cases where I know there will be a defined and finite list
of entries. Keeping it to tinyint keeps the database footprint small.
Its horses for courses, I guess.
