SQLite – Data Type

SQLite data type is an attribute that specifies the type of data of any object. Each column, variable and expression has related data type in SQLite.

You would use these data types while creating your tables. SQLite uses a more general dynamic type system. In SQLite, the datatype of a value is associated with the value itself, not with its container.

SQLite Storage Classes

Each value stored in an SQLite database has one of the following storage classes −

Sr.No. Storage Class & Description
1

NULL

The value is a NULL value.
2

INTEGER

The value is a signed integer, stored in 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, or 8 bytes depending on the magnitude of the value.
3

REAL

The value is a floating point value, stored as an 8-byte IEEE floating point number.
4

TEXT

The value is a text string, stored using the database encoding (UTF-8, UTF-16BE or UTF-16LE)
5

BLOB

The value is a blob of data, stored exactly as it was input.

SQLite storage class is slightly more general than a datatype. The INTEGER storage class, for example, includes 6 different integer datatypes of different lengths.

SQLite Affinity Type

SQLite supports the concept of type affinity on columns. Any column can still store any type of data but the preferred storage class for a column is called its affinity. Each table column in an SQLite3 database is assigned one of the following type affinities −

Sr.No. Affinity & Description
1

TEXT

This column stores all data using storage classes NULL, TEXT or BLOB.
2

NUMERIC

This column may contain values using all five storage classes.
3

INTEGER

Behaves the same as a column with NUMERIC affinity, with an exception in a CAST expression.
4

REAL

Behaves like a column with NUMERIC affinity except that it forces integer values into floating point representation.
5

NONE

A column with affinity NONE does not prefer one storage class over another and no attempt is made to coerce data from one storage class into another.

SQLite Affinity and Type Names

Following table lists down various data type names which can be used while creating SQLite3 tables with the corresponding applied affinity.

Data Type Affinity
  • INT
  • INTEGER
  • TINYINT
  • SMALLINT
  • MEDIUMINT
  • BIGINT
  • UNSIGNED BIG INT
  • INT2
  • INT8
 INTEGER
  • CHARACTER(20)
  • VARCHAR(255)
  • VARYING CHARACTER(255)
  • NCHAR(55)
  • NATIVE CHARACTER(70)
  • NVARCHAR(100)
  • TEXT
  • CLOB
 TEXT
  • BLOB
  • no datatype specified
 NONE
  • REAL
  • DOUBLE
  • DOUBLE PRECISION
  • FLOAT
 REAL
  • NUMERIC
  • DECIMAL(10,5)
  • BOOLEAN
  • DATE
  • DATETIME
 NUMERIC

Boolean Datatype

SQLite does not have a separate Boolean storage class. Instead, Boolean values are stored as integers 0 (false) and 1 (true).

Date and Time Datatype

SQLite does not have a separate storage class for storing dates and/or times, but SQLite is capable of storing dates and times as TEXT, REAL or INTEGER values.

Sr.No. Storage Class & Date Formate
1

TEXT

A date in a format like “YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.SSS”
2

REAL

The number of days since noon in Greenwich on November 24, 4714 B.C.
3

INTEGER

The number of seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC

You can choose to store dates and times in any of these formats and freely convert between formats using the built-in date and time functions.
