The range of TINYINT UNSIGNED is from 0 to 255. Thus, if you have 256
rows in your table, your table is "full".
Solution: Change the column type to something bigger: SMALLINT
UNSIGNED (0 to 65535), INT UNSIGNED (0 to 4.2 billion), OR BIGINT
UNSIGNED:
ALTER TABLE mytbl MODIFY mycol INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT;
