No. sqlite3_column_type returns the type of the value in the given column and the current row. The type reported by sqlite3_column_type may change from row to row. It is largely unrelated to the type "you originally intended the column to be" (SQLite doesn't really have such a concept; column affinity comes closest, but there's no API to report it, directly). In particular, if the value in the current row is null, sqlite3_column_type returns SQLITE_NULL. -- Igor Tandetnik _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
