STRING or BLOB operands automatically convert into REAL or INTEGER values.)^ ^(If the STRING or BLOB looks like a real number (if it has a decimal point or an exponent) or if the value is outside the range that can be represented as a 64-bit signed integer, then it converts to REAL. Otherwise the operand converts to INTEGER.)^ ^(The implied type conversion of mathematical operands is slightly different from [CAST|CAST to NUMERIC] in that string and BLOB values that look like real numbers but have no fractional part are kept as REAL instead of being converted into INTEGER as they would be for [CAST|CAST to NUMERIC].)^ ^The conversion from STRING or BLOB into REAL or INTEGER is performed even if it is lossy and irreversible. ^(Some mathematical operators (%, <<, >>, &, and |) expect INTEGER operands. For those operators, REAL operands are converted into INTEGER in the same way as a [CAST|CAST to INTEGER].)^ ^The <<, >>, &, and | operators always return an INTEGER (or NULL) result, but the % operator returns either INTEGER or REAL (or NULL) depending on the type of its operands. ^A NULL operand on a mathematical operator yields a NULL result. ^(An operand on a mathematical operator that does not look in any way numeric and is not NULL is converted to 0 or 0.0.)^ ^Division by zero gives a result of NULL. </p> <h1>Sorting, Grouping and Compound SELECTs</h1> <p>^When query results are sorted by an ORDER BY clause, values with storage class NULL come first, followed by INTEGER and REAL values interspersed in numeric order, followed by TEXT values in collating |
