Hi all,
I was wondering whether sqlite does type checking for fields which are
referenced in WHERE clause. Because when i tried to compare a field
generated by printf function and tried to compare it with a float value,
the comparison didn't work
Eg.
SELECT count.theme as theme, printf("%.2f",
(count.num_sets*100.00/sum.total)) as percentage
FROM count,sum
WHERE percentage >= 5.00;
It was not giving expected results.
When i replaced printf with ROUND function, it worked.
So i got to think whether this was because printf returns string value.
If so then shouldn't there be type check on fields in comparisons so
that user can get a meaningful error message or in this case, any error
message at all
Regards
Kapil Garg
