Question for Zeev, Zak or Georg - mysql_query and possible integer overflow?

Hi, I have a question for the authors of the mysql extension. I'm sure you gentlemen are very busy, but I'd appreciate your insight if you can spare a moment. I'm developing a stand-alone php application running in an infinite loop from the command line interface. A mysql database is polled continually for new rows to deal with. The same query is executed several times in one second. I've noticed that whether or not a query resource is freed the next query identifier returned from mysql_query() is ++ the last one. I'm sure this is by design and governed by the mysql driver. Naturally I'm concerned about integer overflow when the the application has been running uninterrupted for a very long time. I don't think I can wait around while a test script runs to see what happens after 4,294,967,295 is exceeded though! Can anyone tell me with certainty or hazard a guess what might happen here? I thank you very much for your time. Matt ps - I'm doing this through PEAR::DB::mysql -- Matt Flaherty <matt@boltbluecorp.com> Boltblue International Ltd.
