Summming up: Observations show that SQLite3 behaves inconsistent when storing
and/or calculating numbers as INTEGERs or REALs. The point I am personally
worried about is not so much the storage side of things but the calculation
errors resulting from it.
I would like to propose the resolve this inconsistency as follows:
....
3. If the division of INTEGERs can not be stored as an INTEGER (i.e. if a % b
!= 0), the result should be returned as a REAL.
But this would break much, much code that expects integers to be treated
as integers. This can't be right. Implementation would require, for
every integer calculation, conversion to REAL, performing the
calculation, and checking whether the result is an integer (within some
tolerence). This suggestion won't float.
