I also wondered about the NUMBER() data type (and used it in another application for serial number storage as well). I think NUMBER(31) is perfectly OK for storing cert serials:
log_16 10^31 = 25.74
So we can store 25 hexadecimal digit serial numbers in this data type, more than enough for the RFC requirements, if I am not mistaken.
What do 20 octets be? (8^20) or (8 bit *20)? If 8^20 is correct then Oracle's and IBM's datatypes are big enough and we can commit the patch to openca_0_9_2.
The patch for the HEAD does not introduce a new datatype. This patch only changes BIGINT definitions.
