Failed to read auto-increment value from storage engine, Error Number: 1467

Question

When inserting data in mysql i get this error:

Error Number: 1467 Failed to read auto-increment value from storage engine

I don\'t now how to solve this i

Answer 1

As spencer7593 says, the autoincrement value has reached the maximum value for the datatype

I just came to the problem.

use the command SHOW CREATE TABLE tablename;, I get

table name {
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
 ......
}ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=100000000000 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 

You will see the length of 100000000000 is 12, beyond the limit 11.
