I'm guessing, that since the OP says he is using TCL, he is probably doing something like this: set value 0001234 db eval {INSERT INTO table VALUES($value)} And the leading zeros are being stripped off (and the number is being converted into octal) by TCL on the first statement. So that by the time SQLite gets the value, it is already an integer with the leading zeros removed. > > Simon. > _______________________________________________ > sqlite-users mailing list > sqlite-users@sqlite.org > http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users > -- D.
