I hesitated when adding that bit, but I seem to remember reading somewhere that was the case. As you say, it matters not.

sqLite is very forgiving when it comes to type constraints. This is

You're right about SQLite not enforcing data types, but the data is not
always stored as text.  Not that it really matters since the file level
accessing is all handled by the SQLite library.
