Hi,
We are looking to move from RMySQL to RMariaDB, but the overflow issue presented in this previous issue makes this challenging (see #171 and #132)

Would not simply changing src/MariaTypes.cpp to have the MYSQL_TYPE_LONG result in either the MY_INT64 or MY_DBL switch cases work?

I'm not sure the downstream effects of that, I've been trying to install/run a local version of it, but been having issue. I'm still fairly new to R development in general, so if what I'm suggesting is too simplistic, feel free to let me know
