+When dealing with big numbers (above JavaScript Number precision limit), you should
+consider enabling `supportBigNumbers` option to be able to read the insert id as a
+string, otherwise it will throw.
+
+This option is also required when fetching big numbers from the database, otherwise
+you will get values rounded to hundreds or thousands due to the precision limit.

 The MySQL protocol is sequential, this means that you need multiple connections
