A 64-bit unsigned integer can represent about $18 trillion, in millionths of a dollar. This should have both range and accuracy to spare, for most applications, but you can always trade one for the other (e.g. use units of 1/1000 of a dollar instead, for a 100 times greater range). -- Igor Tandetnik _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
