In other databases the behavior in sqlite is the expected behavior. E.g. IBM db2udb, Ingres, Microsoft SQL Server. Oracle is different because of the wierd NUMBER datatype which is used to store both ints and decimal - I don't know about any others. In most databases the datatypes of the operands dictate the result type; which is the sqlite behavior. Chris
