mysql - MYSQL turning INT field to BIGINT, without loss of data

Question

I currently have a mysql table which is reaching the maxint mark with the autoincrement column.

Is it save to change the field type to Bigint without loss of data?

Or do I need to use a duplicate table with a bigint field, copy all data, and then remove the original and rename the copy to be sure I don't lose data?

Answer 1

BIGINT はすべての INT 値を保持できるため、データを失うことなく型変換が可能です。

ALTER TABLE <tbl> CHANGE <col> <col> BIGINT;
