I see why you asked but that won't work in SQLite. Because SQLite doesn't have column types, it just has column affinities, which aren't enforced. Each individual value in a column may have a different type. You could define the column type as 'integer' but put the text 'overdrawn' into the value for one row. You can see the rules that SQLite actually follows when comparing values of different types in section 3.3 of <http://www.sqlite.org/datatype3.html> Not that this would help you in the case reported because of the (now fixed) bug.
