  <p>If only one string in a comparison is a pure numeric, then that string
  is assumed to be less than the other.  Of neither string is a pure numeric,
  then <b>strcmp()</b> is used for the comparison.</p>
}

faq {
  The second INSERT in the following sequence of commands returns with 
  constraint error.
  <blockquote>
     CREATE TABLE t(s varchar(10) primary key);<br>
     INSERT INTO t VALUES('0');<br>
     INSERT INTO t VALUES('0.0');<br>
  </blockquote>
  Why is this?
} {
  <p>Because column <b>s</b> is a primary key, all values of <b>s</b> must
  be unique.  But SQLite thinks that <b>'0'</b> and <b>'0.0'</b> are the
  same value because they compare equal to one another numerically.
  (See the previous question.)  Hence the values are not unique and the
  constraint fails.</p>

  <p>Temporary tables do not appear in the SQLITE_MASTER table.  At this time

}

faq {
  Is there any known size limits to SQLite databases.
} {
  <p>Internally, SQLite can handle databases up to 2^40 bytes (1 terabyte)
  in size.  But the backend interface to POSIX and Win32 limits files to
  2^31 (2 gigabytes).</p>

  <p>SQLite arbitrarily limits the amount of data in one row to 1 megabyte.
  There is a single #define in the source code that can be changed to raise
  this limit as high as 16 megabytes if desired.</p>

  <p>There is a theoretical limit of about 2^32 (4 billion) rows
  in a single table, but there
  is no way to test this limit without exceeding the maximum file size, so
  it is not really an issue.  There is also a theoretical limit of about 2^32
  tables and indices, but again it is not really possible to reach this
  limit due to the file size constraint.</p>

  <p>The name and "CREATE TABLE" statement for a table must fit entirely
  within a 1-megabyte row of the SQLITE_MASTER table.  Other than this,
  there are no constraints on the length of the name of a table, or on the
  number of columns, etc.  Indices are similarly unconstrained.</p>
