I and others use SQLite from R and R itself gives Inf, -Inf and NaN for 1/0, -1/0 and 0/0 respectively so it would reduce the differences between the database and R if it worked in the same way. Perhaps an option could control this behavior so that backwards compatibility could be maintained. -- Statistics & Software Consulting GKX Group, GKX Associates Inc. tel: 1-877-GKX-GROUP email: ggrothendieck at gmail.com _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
