Dear Nikhil!

You may try one of the two types NUMBER or BINARY_INTEGER.

Hi nikhilkarun,

MS-SQL Bigint range from -2^63 to 2^63 - 1. You could use Oracle NUMBER(19) to cover the same range with the same precision.
SQL> SELECT CAST (power(2,63) AS NUMBER(19)) FROM dual;

CAST(POWER(2,63)ASNUMBER(19))
