Rails - Jul 2006 - Override coulmn data type - urgent

Hi-
I have a BigInt (MySql) column type - RAILS treats it as FixNum, which 
causes big problem for us since we need to store a 12+ number of digits. 
How can I tell Rails to treat is as BigNum instead of FixNum?

thanks
thila

	RUby will automatically convert a Fixnum into a Bignum and visca- 
versa when the number is big enough> you don''t need to worry about
it
it will happen invisibly.
