I disagree; this is feature bloat. SQLite is an embedded database, and the host app can do whatever it wants with the data, such as formatting it. There is no serious need to make SQLite into a Swiss army knife that can do all sorts of things that the host app could easily do itself. > But when you use SQLite to create databases to be viewed in any SQLite > client, as is the case here, you're limited to what SQLite provides > out-of-the-box. I don’t see that use case as being as important as the primary ones. I suppose you can look at SQLite as a sort of interchange format for database client apps, but putting SQLite itself in charge of user interface features like localized number formatting is wrong-headed. I think you’re much better off going to the developers of the client apps that you use and asking them to add improved number formatting in their UI. —Jens _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
