Log_link_visit_action.idlink_va int field limit reached

Support & Bugs

Hello all.

We recently become to a “dead end” as our log_link_visit_action idlink_va int field has reached its maximum capacity of 4294967295, as available in MySQL field types maximum lenght: MySQL :: MySQL 5.6 Reference Manual :: 11.2.1 Integer Types (Exact Value) - INTEGER, INT, SMALLINT, TINYINT, MEDIUMINT, BIGINT

The error as shown in console:

Error in Piwik (tracker): Error query: SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1062 Duplicate entry ‘4294967295’ for key ‘PRIMARY’ In query: INSERT INTO log_link_visit_action (idvisit, idsite, idvisitor, idaction_url, idaction_url_ref, idaction_name_ref, server_time, time_spent_ref_action, idaction_name) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?) Parameters: array ( 0 => ‘836293874’, 1 => 5, 2 => ‘\t\xb72\x86:’ . “\0” . ‘\xec\xe9’, 3 => 0, 4 => ‘0’, 5 => ‘17861139’, 6 => ‘2016-01-20 17:24:15’, 7 => 14, 8 => ‘11807543’, )

We are in the proccess of changing this field type to bigint unsigned and, in a near future, change too the log_visit idvisit from int to bigint unsigned too as these are the most used tables.

I think this must be a clear transparent change, I’m I right? Do you have any suggestion on similar int fields to change to bigint unsigned?

It must be in a near future release change?

Thank you,

Pedro Estevão

We are planning to change field types in Piwik 3.0
See Integer overflow: how to track more than 2 billion actions with PiwiK? · Issue #3288 · matomo-org/piwik · GitHub

I’ve search for it but haven’t found, sorry.

Glad that this should be solved on a future release! :sweat_smile:

Have followed all that is said in the github ticket namely the change in createTempTableForStoringUsedActions function. Is anything more that we should be aware of?

Thanks, Pedro

Hi, just want to add a ‘me too’ to this bug. Not able to import stats. My Fix for now:

alter table piwik_log_link_visit_action change idlink_va idlink_va bigint unsigned not null auto_increment;

This is fixed in Piwik 3
