Yup, fyi the "2147483647" is the largest integer that can be used in some database stuff.
To add a little more color, this is the largest value that can be stored in a signed integer. This is because an integer takes up 4 bytes of memory (32 bits) in most architectures, and 2 to the 32nd power is 4294967296. For signed values, this means that you can store numbers from -2147483648 to 2147483647.
