BIGINT

The BIGINT data type is used for storing very large whole numbers.

Syntax

BIGINT

The storage of BIGINT variables is based on 8 bytes of signed data ( = 64 bits ).

The value range is from -9,223,372,036,854,775,807 to +9,223,372,036,854,775,807.

When assigning a whole number that exceeds the BIGINT range, the overflow error -1284 will be raised.

BIGINT variables are initialized to zero in functions, modules and globals.
