SQLite does not have column types.  It has column affinities instead.  When you 
supply a value for a column SQLite will try to convert it into the desired 
type, but if it cannot do so (for instance, the column is type REAL but you 
supply "hello") then it will store the text instead.

If you don't want to see text in your numeric columns, don't store text in your 
numeric columns.
