"This flexible type-name arrangement works because SQLite is very forgiving about you putting non-proscribed values into columns - it tries to convert if it can do so without loss of information but if it cannot do a reversible type conversion it simply stores whatever you give it. Hence if you store a string '3456' into an INT column, it converts the string into an integer, but if you store a string 'xyzzy' in an INT column it will actually store the string value."
This is an important feature of SQLite. In hindsight, an excellent decision. _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
