Hi,
The problem was with my program that automatically converts xml data
into an sqilte table. It looks for an attribute and appends a column
if it does not exists, but stating no particular type. All values were
appended with sqlite_bind_text. Everything was fine, but an index
created after this on a ParentId field that was in real life integer
or null, actually appeared text-based. Sure, typeof all inserted
fields appeared to be text.
On the other side for a typeless table
CREATE TABLE t (value)
Query
insert into t (value) values (123)
insert into t (value) values ('text')
insert into t (value) values (34.45)
finally makes
select typeof (value) from t
returns
integer
text
real
So it seems like if general queries allow affinity automatical
selection while bind api does not have the corresponent function. I
know that I can analize incoming data myself, but since general
queries use a similar function probably, making some kind of
sqlite_bind_auto should be no big deal. But probably this decision was
deliberate.
