[do_postgres] Returning ID when bigint fails at `atoi` about do

[tpitale]

Oddly, atoll seems to return the same negative int value.

To be clear … the reason I went digging was because any time I tried to save a new record the save would fail and the returned id would be some negative integer of this sort.

@dbussink have you dealt with this before?

Looks like a real issue indeed. Best way to handle it is probably to let Ruby do the heavy lifting here and call the Ruby C-API methods to do the string -> number conversion. This would then also overflow to a Bignum when necessary.

I don't see a macro for converting a STR2NUM or something like that. Do you have something in mind? Or just calling to_i in the adapter or somewhere else higher up?

[dbussink]

rb_cstr_to_inum would be usable for this I think.

Oh, sweet!
