For what little it's worth,
  a) Dialect 1 did include 64bit integers at one time.  VAX's had a native
64 bit integer called a quad.
  b) When your database company forces you to rewrite your application
(losing arithmetic precision in the process) for the convenience of the
company's developers, it's time to consider the cost of moving to a
different database.
