Many thanks for all the replies. I understand what is happening now.

I have found an effective workaround. The Python sqlite3 module allows you to 
create a user-defined function that you can use from within SQL statements. I 
wrote a function that uses the Python Decimal module to perform the arithmetic 
and return the result, and it seems to work just fine.

Thanks again.

Frank
