MySQL Error 1264: out of range value for column
You can also change the data type to bigInt and it will solve your problem, it's not a good practice to keep integers as strings unless needed. :)
ALTER TABLE T_PERSON MODIFY mobile_no BIGINT;
You are exceeding the length of int datatype. You can use UNSIGNED attribute to support that value.
SIGNED INT can support till 2147483647 and with UNSIGNED INT allows double than this. After this you still want to save data than use CHAR or VARCHAR with length 10
tl;dr
Make sure your AUTO_INCREMENT
is not out of range. In that case, set a new value for it with:
ALTER TABLE table_name AUTO_INCREMENT=100 -- Change 100 to the desired number
Explanation
AUTO_INCREMENT
can contain a number that is bigger than the maximum value allowed by the datatype. This can happen if you filled up a table that you emptied afterward but the AUTO_INCREMENT
stayed the same, but there might be different reasons as well. In this case a new entry's id would be out of range.
Solution
If this is the cause of your problem, you can fix it by setting AUTO_INCREMENT
to one bigger than the latest row's id. So if your latest row's id is 100 then:
ALTER TABLE table_name AUTO_INCREMENT=101
If you would like to check AUTO_INCREMENT
's current value, use this command:
SELECT `AUTO_INCREMENT`
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = 'DatabaseName'
AND TABLE_NAME = 'TableName';
The value 3172978990 is greater than 2147483647 – the maximum value for INT
– hence the error. MySQL integer types and their ranges are listed here.
Also note that the (10)
in INT(10)
does not define the "size" of an integer. It specifies the display width of the column. This information is advisory only.
To fix the error, change your datatype to VARCHAR
. Phone and Fax numbers should be stored as strings. See this discussion.
