Introduction
A Data type is a programming language, which contain set of values and data. SQLite Datatypes defines an appropriate kind of data, like integer, floating-point and Boolean.
SQLite Datatypes also defines the attainable values for that type, the operations that should be possible on that sort and then stores the data.
Datatypes are classified into
- String Datatype
- Numeric Datatype
- Date/time
- Large Object Datatype
Description
In SQLite, a string can control anything from plain text to double data such as files and images. The string can be related and examined based on pattern identity by using the like operators.
The following are the String Data types in SQLite :
| Datatype Syntax | Maximun Size |
|---|---|
| CHAR(size) | Max Size 255 Characters |
| VARCHAR(Size) | Max Size 255 Characters |
| TEXT(Size) | Max size of 65,535 characters |
| BINARY(size) | Maximum size of 255 characters |
| VARBINARY(size) | Maximum size of 255 characters |
Description
Numeric Datatypes in SQLite Datatypes combines number data types, including fixed-point, whole numbers and drifting point. In expansion, SQLite additionally bolsters BIT data sort for putting away field values. Numeric sorts are signed or unsigned with the exception the
BIT sort.
The following are the Numeric Datatypes in SQLite.
| Datatype Syntax | Maximum Size |
|---|---|
| BIT | Very small integer value. Signed values range from -128 to 127. Unsigned values range from 0 to 255. |
| FLOAT(p) | Floating point number |
| BOOLEAN | Synonym for TINYINT |
| INT(m) | Standard integer value. Signed values range from -2147483648 to 2147483647. Unsigned values range from 0 to 4294967295. |
| INTEGER(m) | Standard integer value. Signed values range from -2147483648 to 2147483647. Unsigned values range from 0 to 4294967295. |
| NUMERIC(m,d) | Unpacked fixed-point number. m defaults to 10, if not specified. d defaults to 0, if not specified. |
| DOUBLE(m,d) | Double precision floating point number. |
| DOUBLE PRECISION(m,d) | Double precision floating point number |
Description
SQLite produces the sequence for date and time. Besides, SQLite holds timestamps datatype for capturing the adjustments made in the row of table. If one used to store the year past date & month, then utilize
YEAR data sort.
The following are the Date/Time Data types in SQLite.
| Datatype Syntax | Maximum Size | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| DATE | Values range from '1000-01-01' to '9999-12-31' | Displayed as 'YYYY-MM-DD' |
| TIME | Values range from '-838:59:59' to '838:59:59' | Displayed as 'HH:MM:SS' |
| YEAR[(2|4)] | Year value as 2 digits or 4 digits | Default is 4 digits |
| DATETIME | Values range from '1000-01-01 00:00:00' to '9999-12-31 23:59:59'. | Displayed as 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS' |
Description
The following are the LOB Data types in SQLite.
Substantial ordinarily signifies "around 4kb or more", albeit a few databases can cheerfully handle up to 32kb preceding information turns out to be "extensive". Huge articles can be either literary or paired in nature. PDO permits to work with the expansive information sort by utilizing the
| Datatype Syntax | Maximum Size |
|---|---|
| TINYBLOB | Maximum size of 255 bytes |
| BLOB(size) | Maximum size of 65,535 bytes |
| LONGTEXT | Maximum size of 4GB or 4,294,967,295 characters |

- SQLite Datatypes contains set of values and data.
- String Data type uses char and varchar.
- Number Data type uses integer and floating values.
- Date and Time data type uses 'YYYY-MM-DD' and 'HH:MM:SS'.
