I have an integer field that tracks entries. The question I have is
can I set an option so that when auto_increment reaches it's maximum

minute the earlier entries, so I'm not too worried about the table
growing too large. Can mysql be set to roll once it's max value is
reached?

May we ask what you are really trying to do? Perhaps there is another
way to accomplish your goals.
