Hi, in java, the smallest long is -9223372036854775808
in SQLite it seems to be -9223372036854775807 sqlite> create temp table t as select -9223372036854775807,-9223372036854775808; sqlite> select * from t; -9223372036854775807|-9.22337203685478e+18 ==> -9223372036854775808 is converted to a float! Bug or feature? BTW for positive integers the limit of 9223372036854775807 is correct. How did I find it? I have a table with integer keys. create table t ( k integer primary key); From java I called "select k from t where k > %q"; with %q expanding to -9223372036854775808 (Long.MIN_VALUE) did not return anything (I expected the entire table!) Now I use (Long.MIN_VALUE+1)..... (Yes I know, I could omit the where in this case...)
