A nuclear launch? ;) As for now I cannot find a way to introduce such deep improvements other then external and independent fork of SQLite with an alternate type system. For example, is there any software which is expecting NULL or something other then ``0'' after it has cast ``zz'' to NUMBER? BWT. The implementation is not broken --- nobody uses broken things. :) -- best regards Cezary H. Noweta
