That would be some kind of extended ASCII, then. As a test, assuming you're using version 3 of SQLite, define one of your columns as integer, put an integer in it, and see what sort of data your callback gets for that. > where is *any* documentation about this? http://www.sqlite.org/c_interface.html which says in part " int Callback(void *pArg, int argc, char **argv, char **columnNames){ return 0; } " and then goes through each argument. I agree it's not in an obvious place. There should probably be a link from <http://www.sqlite.org/c3ref/exec.html > to that page or the information should be moved or something. These days most people are using the more modern _prepare,_step_,_finalize system which gives you better control over what you can do with each line's data. Simon. PS for the docos: the c_interface page also contains a link to <http://www.sqlite.org/pragma.html#pragma_show_datatypes > which doesn't exist. _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
