This can't be a run-time thing.  It needs to be more cut-and-dried.
The model should give you the data types, your shouldn't be mixing
metadata into your data.

If the DML says it's a uint64 and you can't handle uint64s, you
can't handle that data module.  You need to let the user know that
up front.  You can't say "at 2am last night we started dropping
your accounting data because your value went beyond 32 bits".  The
real value in standardizing on data types comes from knowing that
things will function correctly.

Thanks,
