Are you entering 0071318119 (a number) or are you entering
'0071318119' (a string)?
The number is already a number, and the zeros will be dropped. The
string is a string and should be left alone:
$ ./sqlite3
SQLite version 3.6.23.1
Enter ".help" for instructions
Enter SQL statements terminated with a ";"
sqlite> create table t ( i text );
sqlite> insert into t values ( '000123' );
sqlite> insert into t values ( 000123 );
sqlite> select * from t;
000123
123
