Database tables with primary column having signed instead of unsigned definition which is loss of usable values

[kanevbg]

Preconditions and environment

• Magento develop branch

Steps to reproduce

There is nothing to reproduce, it's a theoretical, architectural problem.

Expected result

Not applicable.

Actual result

Not applicable.

Additional information

Table catalog_product_entity_text has value_id primary column defined as signed int. However the system never stores zero or negative ID in that table. .

This means we have 50% usable values of what the underlining database storage may store in practice for the data produced by the application. I have not found a single reason for that column being signed instead of unsigned. Please checkout.

This is applicable to the following tables:

• catalog_product_entity_datetime
• catalog_product_entity_decimal
• catalog_product_entity_int
• catalog_product_entity_text
• catalog_product_entity_varchar
• catalog_product_entity_gallery
• catalog_category_entity_decimal
• catalog_category_entity_int
• catalog_category_entity_text
• catalog_category_entity_varchar
• catalog_product_entity_tier_price
• customer_address_entity_decimal
• customer_address_entity_int
• customer_address_entity_text
• customer_address_entity_varchar
• customer_entity_datetime
• customer_entity_decimal
• customer_entity_int
• customer_entity_text
• customer_entity_varchar
• eav_entity_datetime
• eav_entity_decimal
• eav_entity_int
• eav_entity_text
• eav_entity_varchar
• weee_tax
