Hello, 

I have recently started trying out monetdb and have been very impressed by its speed so far. 

However, I am hitting a failure trying to read in a large negative number (bitmask) into a bigint field; 

sql>\<test.sql                                                                                                                                                                                                     
operation successful                                                                                                                                                                                             
value '-9223372036854775808' from line 1 field 17 not inserted, expecting type bigint                                                                                                                           
failed to import table                                                                                                                                                                                   

I've attached the sql commands to create the table and a test file to this message.

As far as I can tell, this should be fine for being represented by a 64 bit integer....

I am running this on an OS X 10.6 64-bit system, this is the Dec-2011 SP2 version of the 64 bit binaries dowloaded from www.monetdb.org.

Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance, 
-- Nikhil
