SQLite has the REAL data type:

Then why do we have SQLITE_FLOAT instead of SQLITE_REAL? All the other data
types (INTEGER, BLOB, TEXT, NULL) match with the SQLITE_ constants.
Quoting Shakespeare's Juliet:
"What's in a name? that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as
sweet..."
Of course in matters of love one can nod to that, but it can't be more wrong in
SQL or any code terms!
This may be a quirk, but in the defense, those type names are interchangeable
(or I should say Aliased) in most modern languages.
