Django BigAuto Hack
        ===================
        
        `Support for BigAutoField <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/14286>`_ has been a work in progress for 4 years now. But the ticket has the following valuable comment:
        
          In the meantime, it suffices to use a standard AutoField and hack the database like so:
         
          In the table in question, alter the field like so: ``ALTER TABLE [table_name] ALTER COLUMN [field_name] [data_type]``, where ``[data_type]`` is one of the following:
         
          - MySQL: bigint AUTO_INCREMENT
          - Oracle: NUMBER(19)
          - PostgreSQL: bigserial
          - SQLite: integer
         
          For every foreign key pointing to your field, you will also need to alter the column, but with these data types:
         
          - MySQL: bigint
          - Oracle: NUMBER(19)
          - PostgreSQL: bigint
          - SQLite: integer
         
          This is a pain, but you only need to do it when creating tables, once. On the other hand, users shouldn't have to hack the database for such a simple feature, in my opinion. It would be super-cool if 1.3 included a fully-functional BigAutoField.
        
        This simple django app makes this hack less of pain. Running
        
        ::
        
            $ python manage.py bigautohack myapp.MyModel
        
        Will run the needed ``ALTER TABLE`` commands, turning the database column for ``MyModel``'s primary key into a big integer, as well as all columns referencing ``MyModel``.
        
        To install simply run ``pip install django-bigautohack`` and add ``bigautohack`` to your ``INSTALLED_APPS``.
        
        Limitation
        ==========
        
        You probably need to make generic foreign keys use a big integer as well.
