Question

Hi I’m working on my first sqlite project and I was just wondering if sqlite supports all the same field type that MYsql does e.g – DATETIME, TINYINT, VARCHAR ect.

If sqlite supports limited field type it would be a big help if someone could provide me with them.

thanks!

Answer 1

sqlite has a very limited number of datatypes. According to the Documentation it has the following 5 datatypes:

• 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.

So to answer your question, no, sqlite and mysql do not have the same datatypes.
