Is the INT8 datatype well supported in PG?  I was just trying to do a
TO_CHAR(INT8...) and it said that there is no INT8 version of
TO_CHAR.  Also I think I saw on the list here that you can't index on
INT8.  I'm considering using INT8 all over the place in my
application, because I need ints with up to 14 digits or so.  Is this
a mistake?  Should I use some other datatype?  And how do I convert
INT8 to a string?

Thanks
