[EP-tech] Re: How are the databases defined?


Hi Ian,

They're defined by MetaField/Counter.pm - by default its ISA is MetaField/Int, perhaps change this to MetaField/BigInt

Otherwise look for get_sql_type() in MetaField/*

I can see a way to fudge setting the constant "INTEGER" to be a BigInt
field... but I'm not sure I want to make *all* integer fields BigInts

How/Where are they defined?
(EP 3.2, if it makes a difference)
