Neither PostgreSQL[1] nor SQLite[2] support unsigned 64-bit integers at the SQL level. However, I do need to save those unsigned 64-bit integers as-is into database, as they are not numbers but hash values.
What's the proper way to cast my uint64 as database *signed* integer and back safely in Go? Let's use 8-bit variable as example, in C, I just *assign* the unsigned 8-bit variable to a signed 8-bit variable, so 255 will "*looks like*" -1 when in latter form. However, *no info is lost*, and when I assign it back from signed 8-bit variable, I'm still getting 255. How to do the same thing in Go?
