Added float and bigint datatype conversions

[siephen]

Added the following cross db macros.

• type_float
• type_bigint
• type_int

We needed these macros to be build cross compatibility with Redshift and BigQuery.

[siephen]

I am unsure on how to create integration tests for these, as I didn't see any examples within the integration tests folder.

hey @siephen - thanks for the PR! These kinds of macros are hard to integration test -- we typically just test the higher-level macros that use of these "compatibility" macros.

This PR looks good to me. Are there other types that are worth adding as a part of this PR? Would be good to batch them all up if so!

[siephen]

I'll take a look. Off the top of my head doing an int macro. I'll update the branch.

@drewbanin, it looks like the redshift tests are failing, is there anything I need to do on my end?

[drewbanin]

Nope - you're all good! These tests run against warehouses that we operate, so we've disabled PR builds from forks. Otherwise, people could do nefarious things to snoop our credentials :)

I'll kick these tests off (might as well) but I think this should be good to merge :)

I tried pushing a branch directly to the dbt-utils repo, and I received a permission denied. That's why I forked it. Is that normal?

Yeah, that's totally normal - you did a really good job with this PR :)

[drewbanin]

Looks good to me! Thanks for making this PR :D

[siephen]

Is there a timeline for when 0.1.24 will be released?

[drewbanin]

I'm going to try to slip in another couple of PRs that are currently opening - planning to cut a release around the end of the week!
