Numeric values can always be converted into TEXT. TEXT values can be converted into numeric values if the text content is a well-formed integer or real literal, but not a hexadecimal integer literal. BLOB values are converted into TEXT values by simply interpreting the binary BLOB context as a text string in the current database encoding. <p>^(Affinity is applied to operands of a comparison operator prior to the comparison according to the following rules in the order shown:)^</p> <ul> <li><p>^If one operand has INTEGER, REAL or NUMERIC affinity and the other operand has TEXT or BLOB or no affinity then NUMERIC affinity is applied to other operand. |
