The documentation seems pretty clear on integer data types:Good evening,
I could swear I read somewhere that the default integer size on 64-bit
systems running 9.1 is eight bytes, or the equivalent of a bigint. But
reading through the user guide it seems that it is indeed still just
four-bytes. Can anyone verify that for me, or point me to a way to
verify it? I see nothing in pg_settings which is where I thought to
look. Not a big deal, I just need to know for the data dictionary.

>From the documentation, the range of integer data types is not platform-specific, other than for warning about BIGINT. Perhaps you are remembering compiler documentation, where the default integer size typically *is* platform-dependent?

Thanks Guy. Some dumb notion that I came up with somewhere in the past. I appreciate y'all setting me straight.
