+SQLAlchemy + SQLite does not support the autoincrement feature for BigInteger columns.
+This file provides a class as a workaround for this problem:
+It uses a normal Integer column in SQLite and a BigInteger column otherwise.
+SQLite Integer columns can autoincrement, but they are limited to 2^63-1.
+See https://stackoverflow.com/a/23175518/4306257 for more information.
