> but I do not see why the use in STORED columns has to be forbidden There's been a very long thread recently where the poster lost a lot of valuable information precisely because of this NOT being forbidden in a previous version. You seem to hold the same misconception as that poster did, in thinking that "STORED" is somehow more persistent than any other calculated column. It isn't. It's a lot to rehash and valuable reading, so I will just link to the discussion: [sqlite.org/forum/forumpost/28ab8d7150](https://sqlite.org/forum/forumpost/28ab8d7150)
