Hello NG,

for overflow reasons on numerical accumulation
of an int column during SELECTion i have to
change the data type of a column from "int"
to "bigint".
However that doesn't apply to the HOST based DB2,
the customer's administrator told me there is no
"bigint" data type. So which data type would you
propose as an alternative to "bigint" on host
preventing the overflow when SUMming during
SELECTion?
(column contains milliseconds of processing,
user reports can contain up to years of
processing accumulated)

Thank you for each reply,
Marc.
