I'm already busy with converting the APIs to this and I also stumbled
into this:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/sql/
Statement.html#executeUpdate(java.lang.String)
It seems that the JDBC API hasn't been designed either with more than
2ˆ31-1 rows in mind.
On a side note, this API change also affects Callbacks and
GenericQueryManagerListeners ... people will thus have to adapt the
code that uses that too.

Hmmm I sorta did think about that when we discussed that the last
time. Then, it seemed to me that it would be a bad idea for memory
consumption and such. However, this would only have to be changed
for the method signatures of the GenericQueryManager class, not for
the identifier property types.
What do others think of this?

A while back there was discussion about how RIFE could support
both "int" and "long" for IDs of database objects.
A thought just occurred to me: if supporting both is difficult,
why support "int" at all? If a smaller value is needed in the
database table (for space reasons, etc.), it can be specified
using a maxValue() constraint on the ID field, or maybe some other
new constraint.
If IDs had been "long" from the get-go, I seriously doubt you'd
have seen a single request from someone who wanted *fewer*
possible primary key values. I don't really see any significant
downside to using "long" for all identifiers.
Well, there's one downside to *switching* to "long": obviously it
would be a non-backward-compatible change. However, I suspect it'd
be a change that would not take people much time to cope with. And
it would certainly lead to less confusion than any solution I've
seen discussed for supporting both key types at the same time.
