We use Retool to read-only a Postgres database backed by Rails.
Rails defaults ID columns to bigint Postgres data type. While bigint is much larger than JavaScript’s Number, we handle these as numbers over the API (used to write back through the Rails app), not Strings. While this is probably a problem on our end (and may be eventually), for now it’s just a pain to parseInt() on every bigint column in retool.
Therefore, we’d like to generally change the “default” that Retool parses bigints from Postgres into Strings in Javascript to something like a Javascript number instead.
