BTW, running long benchmark using pgbench on BIG tables easily causes
an integer overflow error in following SQLs:

update accounts set abalance = abalance + :delta where aid = :aid;

update tellers set tbalance = tbalance + :delta where tid = :tid;

update branches set bbalance = bbalance + :delta where bid = :bid;

I'm inclined to change abalance, tbalance and bbalance column to
BIGINT to avoid the error. Opinion?
