To use:

from sqlserver_ado.fields import BigAutoField

and then use BigAutoField like any other Model field.

BigIntegerField

BigIntegerField is an Integer fields that uses bigint as the storage type.

While there is a long-standing Django request open for a cross-database big integer field, the patch hasn't landed and isn't in scope for Django 1.1.

To use:

from sqlserver_ado.fields import BigIntegerField

and then use BigIntegerField like any other Model field.

BigForeignKey

If your (legacy) database using bigints for primary keys, then you'll need to replace any introspected ForeignKey fields with BigForeignKey for things to work as expected.
