No. SQLite has always allowed values to be extracted in any datatype you want. You can use sqlite3_column_double() to retrieve an integer value and it will convert the integer to a double for you automatically. Likewise, you can do sqlite3_column_int64() on a double and it will automatically do the conversion. Or you can do sqlite3_column_text() and it will convert the value to a string and return the string. This has always been the case and it will not change. -- D. Richard Hipp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
