If the column type is "TEXT" or "VARCHAR", then when you try to insert the 1 or 0 it will get changed into a "1" or "0". But otherwise, it should not matter what the column type is. Storing a 0 or 1 will use the new encoding. Note also that if the column type is "REAL", and you insert a 0.0 or 1.0, that value is stored using the new boolean encoding too. REAL values are stored as integers if they can be, then converted back to REAL when read back out of the file. This is because integers normally use less disk space. -- D.
