I have a table whose create statement is:

CREATE TABLE `takas` (
  `TAKAS_NO` bigint(20) NOT NULL,
  `FIYAT` decimal(20,2) NOT NULL,
  `MIKTAR` decimal(20,5) NOT NULL) 

...

is TAKAS_NO a signed bigint or unsigned? I couldn't find the answer in web.

All ints are signed unless you specify that they're unsigned:

CREATE TABLE foo (
   x int // signed
   y int unsigned // unsigned
);
