Grails/GORM BigInteger Unsigned Rejected - grails

Question

I'm getting the following error:

I tried Long, BigInteger, Integer, etc... and burnt hours on this trying to figure out how to get this bigint(20) unsigned to save into the test db. How do i tell Grails/Gorm that the number is a bigint(20) so that it can handle it properly regardless of the database that i'm using?

Long.MAX_VALUE is 9,223,372,036,854,775,807. Your number is too big for it. Using BigDecimal should fix this.
BigDecimal fileNameLookup
