Обсуждение: Unsigned types

Hi all,

Just a quick question.  I have a 64 bit type (int8) which
needs the range 0 through 2**64.  In otherwords an int8
unsigned type.  Is it possible to declare this using
Postgres 7.1.x?  If not, can anyone suggest a way around
it?

Best regards,
Shane

I think it can be done using numeric(20,0) type it is a 20 digits
precission 0 decimal storage.
