Some clarification: what I meant by "table definitions" is if you're
actually defining text columns that reference integer columns. For
example:

CREATE TABLE foos (foo_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, foo text NOT NULL
UNIQUE);
CREATE TABLE bars (bar text PRIMARY KEY, foo_id text NOT NULL
REFERENCES foos (foo_id));
