I need to change my primary key column type from smallint to int.
I have tried:
ALTER TABLE livegroup MODIFY id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT;
But get an error message certainly since my id-column is primary key
and references other tables as well.
How can I come around this problem?
Need help

This is my table definition
livegroup (
id SMALLINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
type VARCHAR(60) NOT NULL,
name CHAR(60) NOT NULL,
public TINYINT NOT NULL,
creator SMALLINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
lastmodified TIMESTAMP(8),
PRIMARY KEY (id),
INDEX (creator),
FOREIGN KEY (creator) REFERENCES user (id) ON DELETE CASCADE
) TYPE=INNODB;
livegroups (
data_id SMALLINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
livegroup_id SMALLINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (data_id, livegroup_id),
INDEX (data_id),
INDEX (livegroup_id),
FOREIGN KEY (data_id) REFERENCES livedata (id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
FOREIGN KEY (livegroup_id) REFERENCES livegroup (id) ON DELETE

Just thinking out aloud, what if you alter the table that uses the id-column
as a foreign key? Here are the steps I'd try:
(1) alter table livegroups and make livegroups.live group_id an int.
If that doesn't work
(1a) drop the foreign key relationship on livegroups.live group_id =
livegroup.id.
(1b) alter table livegroups and make livegroups.live group_id an int.
If that doesn't work
(1a) drop the foreign key relationship on livegroups.live group_id =
livegroup.id.
(1b) drop the index on livegroup_id.
(1c) alter table livegroups and make livegroups.live group_id an int.
(2) Similarly, alter table livegroup to make livegroup.id an int. Try the
version where you just change the column, if that doesn't work drop the
primary key then alter the column.
(3) In the base table livegroup add back the index if you had to drop it.
(4) In the dependent tables add back the index and foreign key relatinoship
if you had to drop it.
ALTER TABLE livegroup MODIFY id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT;

Let me start by saying that I'm still very new at PHP/MySql and will
take any advice. :-)
The issues is that every once in a while users get an error when they
use this code. I believe the issue is that I'm copying the primary
key as well as the other data in the row. So, my thoughts on fixing
this are to just select everything but the 'pkey' column, but I'm not
sure what would result from that. Would MySql use the next auto...

Hello Dr. B
Your solution is amazing. It works...........Wowh. Thank you so much.
I still have one problem.
I am using the autonumber of the access database as primary key. When I imported the data in MS SQL Server, the autonumber got converted into integer.
I do not know how to go to the bottom of the database and increment that field while adding data.
Could you please give your valuable suggestions

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
