Comment (by martinl):

 Replying to [ticket:2769 zarch]:
 > It seems that GRASS does not support vector columns with type int64, in
 most of the cases this fields are just normal int32.
 >
 > I've written a small patch that treat this field as normal integer (with
 a warning). It works without problems on my test file... but I'm not sure
 about the consequences if a real int64 is met.

 support of int64 will depend on DB driver, eg. SQLite integers can hold
 whatever you put into it: from a 1-byte char to an 8-byte long long (1).
 PostgreSQL uses `int` and `bigint` (2), ...
