[Koha] Modifying Field's Data Type In the Koha Database

[Joe Atzberger]

This sounds like a bad idea, and suggests that you are not importing your
data in a safe way.  The biblionumber is Koha's *internal* key for the
record.

What data do you need 100 digits for?  I don't expect that you old system
would require it for its DB key.  Do you really plan to import
1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,
000,000,000,000 records?

I'm guessing no.
