Description:

When SQL Server is used as the back-end, an INT data type is used for the EVENT_TIME_OFFSET and LINKED_EVENT_TIMEOFFSET columns in the three event tables (RPT_USAGE_LIC_EVENT_153, RPT_USAGE_LIC_DEVENT_153, RPT_USAGE_NOLIC_EVENT_153).
But with PostgreSQL FNMEA is using a "smallint" data type for these columns, and customer have usage data which is overflowing this smaller data type in all three tables(RPT_USAGE_LIC_EVENT_153, RPT_USAGE_LIC_DEVENT_153, RPT_USAGE_NOLIC_EVENT_153).
