I, (or more to the point, SQLite) can't seem to retain leading zeros on numbers.
The receiving field is defined as CHAR; I'm using the SQLite Manager in Firefox. I've also tried sqlite3 from the command line. Here's a typical (and minimal) statement: UPDATE UPCs SET UPC=043000205563; UPDATE UPCs SET UPC=CAST(043000205562 AS CHAR) WHERE rowid=93; didn't work either. SELECT TYPEOF(UPC) FROM UPCs WHERE rowid=93; returns 'text'. I'm reluctant to put quotes (single or double) around the values as they are retained in the field. On other text/numeric fields I've added a textual value; that seems to "fix" the problem. But not really. Last question: is this an example of SQLite's "typelessness"?
