Make serial SQL types consistent

Created on 13 August 2012, over 12 years ago
Updated 30 January 2023, almost 2 years ago

The serial database type is supposed to be automatically unsigned and not null. However, the database-specific drivers were not consistent with this and in many schema definitions, unsigned and not null are explicitly declared, which ought to be redundant.

The attached patch cleans up the code by removing unnecessary explicit unsigned and not null statements from schema definitions and ensuring that the drivers consistently make serial fields unsigned and not null.
