According to the documentation, SQLite stores whatever you give it, paying very little heed to the declared type. If you get SQLite to *compare* two numbers, it will at that point *convert* them to doubles in order to carry out the comparison. This is quite separate from the question of what it can store. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
