BIGINT leads to a backwards compatibility issue with largeint not being
recognized anymore. (not a real problem I think, but it must be
documented in user-changes) And I think to fix this a revision has to be
reverted, not committed? Which leads to a new issue: we need to add a
test that test for the problem introduced with the revision being
reverted. (ie: recognition of fieldtypes when the first record is NULL)

The nchar stuff doesn't have tests. I don't even know if ftWideString
and such are working at all. The basic tests for these types have to be
added.
