    Description

      DROP TABLE IF EXISTS t1;
      		 
      CREATE TABLE t1 (a DECIMAL(30,0));
      		 
      INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (CAST(0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF AS UNSIGNED));
      		 
      SELECT * FROM t1;

      returns

      +----------------------+
      		 
      | a                    |
      		 
      +----------------------+
      		 
      | 18446744073709551615 |
      		 
      +----------------------+

      So far so good.

      Now if I do:

      ALTER TABLE t1 MODIFY a BIGINT UNSIGNED;
      		 
      SELECT * FROM t1;

      it erroneously returns:

      +---------------------+
      		 
      | a                   |
      		 
      +---------------------+
      		 
      | 9223372036854775807 |
      		 
      +---------------------+

      The expected result is 18446744073709551615.
