 Currently, the [`IsDatabaseModel`](#the-is-database-model-trait) trait already provides a primary `$id` property. It is therefore not possible to use UUIDs alongside `IsDatabaseModel`.

+### Using unsigned integers as primary keys
+
+By default, Tempest uses signed auto-incrementing integers as primary keys. On MySQL, you may use unsigned integers instead by specifying `unsigned: true` to the `primary()` method. Foreign keys referencing an unsigned primary key must be unsigned as well, so specify `unsigned: true` to `belongsTo()` or `foreignId()` too:
+
+```php app/Books/CreateBooksTable.php
+use Tempest\Database\MigratesUp;
+use Tempest\Database\QueryStatement;
+use Tempest\Database\QueryStatements\CreateTableStatement;
+
+final class CreateBooksTable implements MigratesUp
+{
+    public string $name = '2024-08-12_create_books_table';
+
+    public function up(): QueryStatement
+    {
+        return new CreateTableStatement('books')
+            ->primary(unsigned: true)
+            ->foreignId('author_id', constrainedOn: 'authors', unsigned: true)
+            ->text('title');
+    }
+}
+```
+
+:::info
+PostgreSQL and SQLite have no unsigned integer type, so this option has no effect on primary keys for those databases.

 ### Table names
 
 Tempest infers the table name for a model class based on the model's classname. By default, the table name is the pluralized, `snake_cased` version of the base class name. This can be overridden using the {b`Tempest\Database\Table`} attribute:
