I just happened to notice... Current WU ID numbers are around 990,000,000. I hope that whatever table keeps track of them is prepared for them to pass 1,000,000,000. We've had several outages lately due to tables filling up.

Maybe someone can whisper in Matt's ear about it...?

Probably not. 2147483647 is the tricky number (upper limit of a 32-bit signed integer), so we still have 1147483647 to go.

It doesn't seem to be that big of an issue to implement the "patch" to get things rolling again. As one of posts Matt made recently indicated another table/field somewhere has run into the issue over a weekend.
