Yes, this works well in SQLiteSpy. >Really I suppose it depends on what SQLiteSpy is using to >determine that the column type is BLOB. SQLiteSpy determines the type of each record cell individually, just as it is returned by sqlite3_column_type(). So casting a BLOB to text will display it as such in SQLiteSpy. In fact, SQLiteSpy colors the cell backgrounds by data type: White: Text Green: Integer Violet: Float Blue: Blob Red : Null Ralf _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
