DB_Table wants above all for the data itself to be portable across databases, not just the API calls. In a way, DB_Table proceeds similarly to MDB in this case: it retreats to the lowest common denominator in the name of portability.Well, the problem is that 4-byte integer is *a bit* lower than the lowest common denominator...
