database bigint

[jyang72211]

There is a column in my database table with the datatype called "bigint", which is just an int with a bigger range.  When I use the database toolkit to tool the bigint data, instead of getting a bigint value, I get a blank.  How do I fix that?

Someone help!  Why can't I query bigint datatype fromn database?

Kind of hard to help without getting more information, perhaps even a copy of the code where you are trying to read this "bigint".

What exactly is a "bigint"?  What is the bigger range of values it could possibly have?

What functions in the toolkit are you using? I have hardly used the toolkit at all (I use LabSQL) but I think the Database Variant to data should work if you specify I64 as the data.

Cool, that worked.
