Shuyi Chen commented on CALCITE-2211:
-------------------------------------

Good point. java.math.BigInteger has unlimited decision, I dont think there is 
a sql type equivalent to it. The close I think is decimal. 

In JavaToSqlTypeConversionRules, we are mapping BigDecimal(unlimited precision) 
to Sql.Decimal already, so I think we can convert BigInteger to Sql.Decimal as 
well. Transact-SQL do conversion of integer to Decimal if it's outside the 
integer range.

> Type of BigInteger should be BIGINT

> Vertica DB returns BigInteger values as BigInteger. It seems that

> BIGINT.
