Which type of data is handled with SQLite3?

What is the data type in SQLite?

SQLite only has four primitive data types: INTEGER, REAL, TEXT, and BLOB. APIs that return database values as an object will only ever return one of these four types.

What is sqlite3 used for?

SQLite is a C library that provides a lightweight disk-based database that doesn't require a separate server process and allows accessing the database using a nonstandard variant of the SQL query language. Some applications can use SQLite for internal data storage.

Which data type SQLite does not support?

SQLite does not support built-in date and time storage classes. However, you can use the TEXT, INT, or REAL to store date and time values. For the detailed information on how to handle date and time values, check it out the SQLite date and time tutorial. A single column in SQLite can store mixed data types.

Does SQLite use varchar?

You can declare a VARCHAR(10) and SQLite will be happy to store a 500-million character string there. And it will keep all 500-million characters intact. Your content is never truncated. SQLite understands the column type of "VARCHAR(N)" to be the same as "TEXT", regardless of the value of N.
