Colin,

we are doing just that and it eventually works. However, beware,
the VCL has holes in it big enough to drive a bus through. If you
want to persist, I can jot down the gotchas.

Subject: [IBO] 64 bit integers in ID fields?

> 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
