Hi,

I'm just thinking about famous internet services like facebook or twitter manage fast growing databases.

Which could be a solution for this kind of problem?

What about ids ? I read there is a limit in MySQL - 18446744073709551615 - in unsigned bigint... whow would you generate and manage a bigger value ?

Just a theoric problem, but i'm curious about a possible solution.

Thank you!
