The datatype conversion logic is not correct and is not compatible with
other RDBMS. So the declared tasks of the SQLite datatypes system is 
not performed and document is not consistent. I think the text '1' must
be equal to numeric 1 always like to standart de-facto for RDBMS.

I did find some datatypes bugs in tclsqlite interface and fix it as
http://geomapx.blogspot.com/2009/10/tclsqlite.html
Note: the original code produce different results from tclsh shell and from 
tcl script file.

As you can see the datatyping is not ideal now.
