Not really. Those aren’t necessarily intended to format data for display, and I’ve never used them for that. For example I might use printf() to construct a primary key string out of several values from a query, or substr to compare one component of a string value against something. I wouldn't put UI-level formatting in SQL queries, because it doesn’t belong there; it belongs at the view level of the application, not the model. —Jens _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
