Hi,
we use connection_id() return value to fill some fields in a mysql-myisam database.
I have spent a lot of time researching about the returned value, but I have not found any interesting information, so I’m asking this blog which I follow from one year now.
My questions are:
-
select connection_id() returns an integer value: what are the limits? How should a declare the field to store it?
-
what will happen when the limits are reached? Yes, it is possible; we are managing millions of connections per day on a single database…
-
is it there any other better parameter available in a query, to ensure that two concurrent users will have returned different values?
Many thanks in advance.
