AutoField vs BigAutoField

Question by malero

What is the difference between an AutoField and a BigAutoField? The documentation says that they're both 64-bit values, but BigAutoField has a higher maximum value(9,223,372,036,854,775,807).

Answers

• I believe AutoField is based on the IntegerField and the BigAutoField is based on the BigIntegerField.

  Type	Minimum	Maximum
  SmallAutoField	1	32,767
  AutoField	1	2,147,483,647
  BigAutoField	1	9,223,372,036,854,775,807
