BCDInt was a very early attempt at a sortable int type that didnt go through binary - it went directly from base 10 (the actual string representation) to a sortable base 10000 (10K fits in a single char and saves memory in the fieldCache), and it also had no size limit. It's no longer referenced in any example schemas, and it doesn't have support for function queries. -Yonik http://www.lucidimagination.com
