Strange: I thought I did something like that, but maybe I did something wrong. Is quit a while back, so I do not know what I did exactly. It gives a float instead of an integer, but that is in my case not a problem. If it will become a proclem I always can use CAST. I just changed it to: 2.5E17. > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: sqlite-users [mailto:sqlite-users-boun...@mailinglists.sqlite.org] > Im Auftrag von Cecil Westerhof > Gesendet: Dienstag, 05.
