If that does not break your business logic, you might arrange to use the negative half of the ::int
value range. Ugly, but this might at least buy you some time before finding the definite and elegant
way, if you are under some pressure. I do not recommend this, but this is what once saved my life
(or at least one night), after I realized that my PK already reached the limit :-).
Very clever. I think we are set with the current approach. The issue was more how much downtime, not how fast we are approaching the limit (which is also a real issue but not of concern in this thread).
