Yes, your range is much bigger.

If you use INTEGER then you are limited to 1901 to 2038 or so. People like
to specify '2050' or '2100' when e.g. exmaple it should mean 'never', so we
started to support LONG. You can now also implement a history site with
mmevents (storing 1792: french revolution and so on..)
