About

This page details the support of integer ansi data type.

Integer is an exact numeric, logically equivalent to a numeric/decimal without fractional digits (ie NUMERIC(*,0) or DECIMAL(*,0))

Note the maximum precision is the number of digits of the value. For instance, the value of a signed integer is 10 because 2,147,483,647 has 10 digits.

Unsigned Support and Conversion

You should be aware that not all databases supports unsigned number (For instance, Postgres does not support them)

If this is the case and that

Tabulify will take the next integer type in precision order.
