I have a note to provide additional documentation on this before the release. In short, a value is FALSE is, when converted into a floating point number via CAST(x AS REAL) it has a value of 0.0. It used to be (https://www.sqlite.org/src/info/36fae083b450e3af) that sometimes FALSE was determined by CAST(x AS INTEGER). This was inconsistent. Beginning with 3.23.0, FALSE is determined by CAST(x AS REAL) in all cases. So in other words, it used to be that 0.5 was sometimes considered TRUE and other times considered FALSE, depending on context. It is now always considered TRUE. Strings are TRUE or FALSE depending on whether or not they evaluate to non-zero when converted. '123xyz' is TRUE, but '0abc', 'abc', and '' are all FALSE. > Will insert into T values(FALSE) actually store integer 0 no matter column > affinity or will it follow affinity? No. FALSE is merely an alias for 0. Affinity still applies. If the column is of type TEXT, then it will store '0', not 0. -- D.
