A few days ago, I added a hook to the database Field class -- a db_type() method -- along with some documentation on how to create a custom database field type: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/model-api/#custom-field-types I'm not necessarily saying we shouldn't add a BigIntegerField as one of Django's built-in types; I'm saying this new hook could help you out in the interim. It's as easy as doing this: class BigIntegerField(models.IntegerField): def db_type(self): return 'bigint' ...then use BigIntegerField() in your model. Note that there *might* be some validation issues to sort out -- i.e., Django will use the default IntegerField validation in the admin, and that validation might be too strict -- but I forget whether the IntegerField validation checks that the value is in a given range.
