[sqlite] confusing error msgs
You are creating each table in a separate file; a foreign key may only reference a table in the same file. Your type declarations are faulty in that you are omitting an opening parenthesis in a DECIMAL 4,3) declaration. SQLite does not constrain sizes, a TEXT(10) or a CHAR(1) variable my contain arbitrary length strings; types only define affinities, the same fields could be used to store integers, reals or BLOBS for that matter. SQLIte also does not implement fixed point numeric fields. DECIMAL (6,2) defines a field of numeric affinity, i.e. if you provide a value that contains a decimal point, it will be stored as a REAL. -Urspr?ngliche Nachricht- Von: Keller Racing [mailto:keller_racing at netscape.com] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 11.

You'll notice that the lines that construct event.db run fine. The other 3, not so much. Most confusing to me are the msgs for baseline.sql and current.sql. I can discern no difference between those files and event.sql. I have tried to search the on-line documentation but a search on "error" turns up MANY, MANY entries. So I thought I'd turn to the mailing list. I should also note that I only run the batch file for one table at a time, the others are commented out. Any help would be
