Answer 1

I was able to create a bigint using t.column. This is useful if you want to control the column order in the table.

create_table :table_name do |t|
  t.string :other_column
  t.column :really_big_int, :bigint
  .
  .
  t.timestamps
end

I'm using Rails 3.2.12 with pg gem version 0.15.1 (x86-mingw32).
