There's
http://sqlite.1065341.n5.nabble.com/printf-with-thousands-separator-td85022.html
And my feeble attempt below. But there's got to be a better way, no?
What would be the shortest and/or most efficient way to do this in SQL?
Couldn't SQLite's built-in printf gain a thousand-separator formatting
argument,
which doesn't need to be locale aware or could be even explicit after the
arg?
Thanks, --DD
PS: In this context, I don't want to use a host-program provided UDF.
This is data meant to be viewed with any SQLite client, so kind of "report".
