It's not that hard when data retrieval is in progress to compare the type one want to retrieve to the result of sqlite3_column_type function. Since some lines of the conversion table listed at http://www.sqlite.org/c3ref/column_blob.html will likely have lossy conversions, it is always possible to detect such state and show a warning about possible conflicts. If the user does not want it, ok, select "never show again" and forget about it, but personally I'd never switch it off.
Sure it's not a problem for tools that always use sqlite3_bind_text for display purpuses. Max _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
