function twitter_update_6005 in Twitter 6.4

Same name and namespace in other branches

1. 6.5 twitter.install \twitter_update_6005()
2. 6.2 twitter.install \twitter_update_6005()
3. 6.3 twitter.install \twitter_update_6005()

Dear PHP, I hate you so bad. Love, Jeff.

Workaround for drupal_write_record(), which treats a DB bigint as a signed 32 bit int on 32 bit PHP builds. We can STORE bigints, and PHP automatically converts them to floats in memory while we work with them, but db_placeholders() always treats them as %d and casts them back to dumb signed ints.

See http://drupal.org/node/333788 for more info.

Instead we'll set the column type to 'string' which is a little like jumping off the Sears Tower because the elevator's broken. But that's life.
