Subject 64 bit integers in ID fields?
Author Colin Fraser
Hi,

I am just looking at using IB 6... I read that generators now return 64 bit
integers. Is it therefore logical to make all my Id fields 64 bit integers?
I don't see a new Int 64 datatype, and it appears as though Integer is still
a 32 bit datatype, so does that mean I would need to use Numeric(18, 0)??

Is changing to this a waste of time, any performance penalties over just
using integer?

Thanks for any advice.

Regards

Colin
