BIGINT UNSIGNED value is out of range

Question

I am getting the error

BIGINT UNSIGNED value is out of range in \'(1301980250 - mydb.news_articles.date)\'

Answer 1

I just came across this issue doing an update on a field where the result ended up being less than 0.

Solution: Verify that none of your updates cause your result to be less than 0 on an unsigned field.
