They have data types for them, and the library to support them.

Who is "you" in this picture? If you mean "SQL engine", there are plenty 
that can do this, but SQLite is not one of them (hence "lite"). If you 
mean "application programmer", then sure, you can invent some 
representation for your big numbers (or use a library that provides 
one), and store them in the database as text or blobs.
