Specifying max_length on a Django model IntegerField has no effect. max_length is an allowed parameter on any field, but it is not used except by those fields (such as CharField) that are documented to use the value. > and is bigint(length=5) different that int > (length=5)? I'm not sure what you are asking here? Django doesn' t have a big integer field. Your choices (unless you want to use a custom field) are Integer and SmallInteger, which map (on MySQL) to integer and smallint respectively. There is an old ticket (#399) requesting a BigInt field, but it has not been completed. (Since it was opened it has become much more easy to write your own custom fields so adding this ticket to core became not as important as originally.) Anyway, I'm not sure why you need to store a phone number as an integer? A CharField with (formfield-level, at the moment) validation to ensure it's got the right number of digits or whatever would seem to work fine.
