Bytes of course. Of the data stored, i.e. excluding the header byte and encoded size (if any) from the file-format. Basically the same as length() *except* for text values, resulting in O(1) behavior. --DD PS: I keep forgetting length(text_val) returns the number of code-points in fact :) PPS: Surrogate pairs count as one or two code points? That's just bait, I don't really want to know :))) _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
