I'm still trying to clear up just where we are with handling 64bit values being returned for example from SQL queries. Currently these are returned as numeric strings rather than integer for compatibility with 32bit systems. Having been - and on a few legacy sites - still working with 32bit windows, I expect to see the same return from both 32 and 64bit systems, however it would seem that on a few extensions 'bugs have been fixed' where an integer value is not returned as 64 bit. Certainly on the Firebird/Interbase driver I do not expect 'BIGINT' to be returned as an 'integer' on a 32bit system, and it's this distinction that I'm not seeing documented ... for every extension?
