Subject: Re: [sqlite] CSV import deletes trailing zeroes on text fields

1. Rename .csv to .txt2. Excel will now ask for column treatment on import3.
Specify the problem column(s) as "text" not "general"
There are other problems with csv recognizing text as numbers. I had a column
with content, say 123D4. Excel recognized the old FORTRAN double precision
format and
"CSV import deletes /leading/ zeroes on text fields" excel does this.
Quite difficult to stop it from doing so.

And your declaration is wrong - in SQL the column name is first, then
the Type, so it must be:
CREATE TABLE foo(bar TEXT NOT NULL);
Opening the csv file in Excel or CALC

Should be
bar TEXT NOT NULL
I'm not sure how your line is being parsed, but I can understand it thinking
you have not set a column type.
Simon.
To reproduce:
create table foo (
text bar not null
);
.import test.csv foo
select * from foo;
With test.csv:
test
01230
Expected result:
test
01230
Actual result:
test
1230
