"You can always store an exact integer value in a BIGINT column by storing it as a string. In this case, MySQL will perform a string-to-number conversion that involves no intermediate double representation."
I don't understand this, does this mean that the fastest way to insert bigint values will always be to insert them as strings, ="2423423" vs =3242342? Why is there a double representation, what is its perpose?
