Another possibility with this error is that you've hit the max value in the ID field (generally an INT). We had this error when our ID values got close to 4294967295. We ended up having to drop the ID from the table in order to get past the issue. The various INT fields are mentioned in this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/5634147/4573630
