Comment (by tim@…):
I disagree with pzinovkin. Using unsigned integers basically doubles the
amount of id's that can be used. That has benefits no matter which integer
type is used. But in the case of an INT, 2 billion id's versus 4 billion
for the same cost is substantial. Different RDBMS' are not built the same
so trying to treat them all the same is a potential recipe for poor
scalability.
