Hi.. I'm not sure if I've found a bug or not. I've created a table like so:
CREATE TABLE desc (number primary key, full_line); Then I've loaded it with taxonomy numbers from NCBI (where "9606" means "Homo Sapiens", for instance). sqlite> select * From desc where number="9606"; 9606|Homo sapiens sqlite> select * From desc where number='9606'; 9606|Homo sapiens sqlite> select * From desc where number=9606; sqlite> select * From desc where number=9606+0; One workaround is this: sqlite> select * From desc where number+0=9606; 9606|Homo sapiens If I change the table definition to this: CREATE TABLE desc (number integer primary key, full_line); Then it works as expected: sqlite> select * From desc where number=9606; 9606|Homo sapiens sqlite> select * From desc where number='9606'; 9606|Homo sapiens Why is it doing this? I thought SQLite automatically converted from numbers to text and vice-versa as needed. If it converted the 9606 to a string or the field to a number, then there would be no problem. Is this a bug?
