Comment (by dd32):

 The Database error shouldn't be occurring, however it saying everything is
 hunky-dory when it's not is indeed a bit of a bug. Its worth noting that
 for 99.9% of users, They'll never come across an issue with the schema
 updates, It'll only be the small number of installs which are either
 locked down (so Alter/Create doesnt work) or those with altered non-
 standard database table layouts (ie. plugin renamed a field or something
 equally as crazy)

 For reference, The SQL there is updating it to an unsigned bigint, from
 [10852] (or failing that [2629]...), so not a recent addition, nor a
 breaking addition. In your case, You'll probably find you've got a
 negatively signed post parent or something such as that..
