When creating a table in SQLite3, I get confused when confronted with all the possible datatypes which imply similar contents, so could anyone tell me the difference between
NULL
. The value is a NULL value.
INTEGER
. The value is a signed integer, stored in 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, or 8 bytes depending on the magnitude of the value.
REAL
. The value is a floating point value, stored as an 8-byte IEEE floating point number.
TEXT
. The value is a text string, stored using the database encoding (UTF-8, UTF-16BE or UTF-16LE).
BLOB
. The value is a blob of data, stored exactly as it was input.
