SQL does not support unsigned integers. Unsigned integers are a MySQL extension of the standard and as such not portable. At least SQLite, PostgreSQL, and Firebird do not use unsigned integers (maybe Oracle does, I don't know). The current behaviour emulates unsigned integers in a portable way which works across all supported database engines. It is questionable whether your mysql driver patch would offer that much benefit as the extended range of unsigned integers would be limited to users of that driver. I'm open for discussions whether this is a useful feature or not. regards, Markus -- Markus Hoenicka [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Spam-protected email: replace the quadrupeds with "mhoenicka") http://www.mhoenicka.de ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.
