I will opt for the string column storage solution since I definitely need to have 64-bit unsigned integers. Moreover, that would enable my applicaton to handle even larger integers would that become a requirement, which is very likely. Regarding my app, each value will be converted to int in the following fashion, making the conversion transparent and fluid:
def after_initialize self.value = value.to_i end No conversion to string is required while persisting the instance as Rails take care of it by its own. Not that bad.
