if smath is being serious.... the counters are probably held in 16-bit signed integers, as that's what most programming languages use. That means that the range of numbers the 16 bits can represent goes from -2^15 --> 2^15 - 1 (plus or minus one or so, i forget). And, as it happens, 2^15 is 32768. So the behavior of that variable after this point is probably unpredictable -- it will likely roll over into negative numbers or something. It can probably be set to an unsigned integer, in which case the max value is 2^16, or 65536, but seeing as jackleg will likely get there soon, a long integer will probably do better, which could go up to around 2^32 or 4 billion....

i was under the impression that most languages use 32 bit signed integers, and a long integer is 64 bits. Of course, by most languages I mean Java.

yeah but databases store based on the size you designate to them, and most INT def's default to 16 bits.

You are neglecting negative values. The highest possible integer for 16bits on a signed integer is 32767.

edit: didnt realise agentlion said the same thing.
