Indeed, there are no ‘integer’ type per se in Oracle. At least not at the SQL level. But more to the point, I don’t thing the various ANSI standards have anything normative to say about what the result of a division should be, merely that there is a division operator. So it’s rather a free for all. Sigh. FWIW, I personally find Oracle’s behavior more intuitive in that respect. But then again, nothing really wrong with how SQLite handles it.
