My point was that your requirements are that, yet someone else wanting a "flip" function could want something different (eg keep combining codepoints together in the correct order). That is where the ambiguity is. > To lump my little string function request in with a suite of > statistical functions is to consider a tricycle on par with an army > tank.

Actually they aren't and are also very few lines of code (median & mode are exceptions because it requires storing all values till the end). Functions like sin/cos/tan are all one liners and are also not in the SQLite core. So wording things a different way, given various one liner functions have not been added to the SQLite core why would flip be? > If they say yes, they do, I will > have the option of learning C and writing the function myself (or I can > borrow one from a generous benefactor). I already pointed you at an implementation on the contrib page - you don't have to learn anything. In addition the host language you are using (Javascript) is perfectly capable of reversing strings. A simple for loop will do the trick.
