Not to my knowledge as every programming language already includes
formatting.  SQLite is a library within your process so there is no need
to use SQLite C extension functions - just use whatever language the
process is written in.

The only time you'd need to use C extensions is if SQLite itself needs
to be aware of your formatting such as for filtering or sorting which
mainly means a collation.  However it is usually better to store an
additional column with the formatted data rather than have functions
repeatedly called whenever SQLite needs to access the row.
