Comment:
Hello,
Thanks for taking care to submit this detailed report. Actually,
`max_length` is not a documented option for `IntegerField`, and AFAIK it
only modifies the widget that is generated for the field in forms by
default.
If you want to specify exactly the parameters of a numeric database
column, use `DecimalField`.
I am recasting this as a documentation bug.
