Hi Bruce,
I had a go at post-processing the sqlite3 shell's output to apply thousand
separators. I don't recommend looking too hard at the sed for the sake of
your sanity, but the gist is it repeatedly prepends a comma to trailing
groups of three digits, and then repeatedly removes commas which

Gentlemen, thanks all for your comments. Before I posted I knew the
thousands separator was problematic for the reasons stated by Simon. I
figured it was intentionally left out of sqlite's printf(). I wanted to
make sure I was not missing a known or easy solution.
As sqweek/Mohit suggested I

One problem with thousand separators is that different countries use different
characters for them. There's an unholy mix of commas, spaces, dots and
apostrophes out there, not to mention

Let me clarify that: The printf.c file has been part of SQLite since
the beginning - over 15 years. The SQL "printf()" function was added
in

Thanks for those comments, I now understand better what is being returned.
It seems an easy work around for shell output with thousands separator may
not be possible. Within sqlite3.c there are ~1000 lines of printf.c code
(added in 3.8.3) so it does seem to be a development matter. printf
(1) SQLite will not return output with a thousands separator as follows:
sqlite> select printf("%15.2f",123456789.12789);
123456789.13
sqlite> select printf("%'15.2f",123456789.12789);
(2) C language
