Hi Larry. Yes, I know that there's no decimal type on SQLite and that some types are actually aliases to others. But looking at the link you gave me I'm surprised to know that DECIMAL is stored as NUMERIC instead of REAL. Is there any motivations in that? I would expect decimal to be something like real/float/double/etc. Note that the only reason my column is decimal and not numeric is because it was generated by Django. In my django app I use sqlite for dev and postgresql for production, and I declare monetary fields as DecimalField, which translates to decimals here in sqlite. There's no RealField ASAIK and using FloatField (which would translate to REAL) is not an option because I would loose precision on postgresql.
