Synchronizing the model modifies UNSIGNED BIGINT to UNSIGNED BIGINT(19)

Environment:

When I try to synchronize the model with the database schema and I have en a table a defined type UNSIGNED BIGINT (that is UNSIGNED BIGINT(20)) then it becomes UNSIGNED BIGINT(19).

The same process with forward engineering works fine to these data types.

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `test`.`table` (
  `id` BIGINT(19) UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`))
ENGINE = InnoDB
DEFAULT CHARACTER SET = utf8
COLLATE = utf8_general_ci;

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `test.`table1` (
`id` BIGINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY(`id`))
ENGINE = InnoDB;

Could it be a bug in MySql Workbench?

Solution

  • The solution I found is to define de type like

    UNSIGNED BIGINT(20) --OK

    instead of

    UNSIGNED BIGINT  --KO

    MySql bug

    In practice it seems not to affect as we can see in the example Exemple

    create table test.biginttest (a BIGINT, b BIGINT(10), c BIGINT(15) ZEROFILL);

INSERT INTO test.biginttest VALUES (-10,10,-10);

INSERT INTO test.biginttest VALUES (9223372036854775808,9223372036854775808,9223372036854775808);

select * from test.biginttest;

    Result
