Sometimes, when querying data, rather than letting NULLs propagate, it might be better to throw an error if NULLs are not expected from an expression. The presence of NULLs might indicate an error in logic, data, or both. So, the COALESCE(x, ABS(-9223372036854775808)) construct is a hack to sanity-check queries. Something like THROW_IF_NULL(x) _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
