So I guess that's a "No" then? I'm fully aware of how sqlite3 treats datatypes and column width specifications, but surely if someone defines a column with a specific max width, it's reasonable to assume that's the max width they want, otherwise why bother defining it? That would seem to be a lot less arbitrary than the current logic for determining the default column width.
