While I do agree with the above, this not about types per se. And it’s not about the meaning of life, nor metaphysics. I simply wish the *SQL* parser was more strict about what it accepts. My point is that blindly accepting a bare expression as a comparison fails far short of both ‘simplicity’ and ‘sanity'. That’s all. _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
