Typical for 70s and 80s.

Honestly, designing a 21st century database is a different thing if compared to back then.

You can use 128 bit integers, provided that you really want to use integers. And maybe you put a timestamp along.

let's use 128bit integer and handle them like floats in php!

and maybe put a 32bit timestamp along and pretend it can somehow store more than a 32bit integer can.
