But, seriously, ho much work is it to do this: SQLite version 3.31.1 2020-01-27 19:55:54 Enter ".help" for usage hints. Connected to a transient in-memory database. Use ".open FILENAME" to reopen on a persistent database. sqlite> select 42+'xxxx1'; 42 sqlite> select 42+'1enghlissh'; 43 sqlite> and, draw some conclusion from the responses that SQLite gave you?
