I have a question about the datatype you should use with
generators.

I think atomicity is the correct term for this, but lets say I have a
field on a table thats sole purpose is uniqueness. Its an integer.
Is it a potential problem for a generator to be autoincrementing to
this field?

iRecNo integer,

iRecno = Gen_ID(agenerator, 1);

Should I be using bigint here. And if so, whats the datatype in
Delphi7 for a bigint?
