How to use the TEXT Storage Class In SQL
We can also use the TEXT storage class to store double and float values. But it cannot be considered as an ideal case. Using the TEXT storage class for floating-point numbers can lead to a loss of precision. It is not recommended due to potential loss of precision. However, if we must store these values as text, ensure proper conversion to avoid data loss.
Query:
CREATE TABLE example_table ( id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, value TEXT );
INSERT INTO example_table (id, value) VALUES (1, '123.456');
Output:
Explanation: In this example, we create a table with an id column as INTEGER PRIMARY KEY and a value column as TEXT. We then insert a double value (123.456) as a string into the table.
How to Insert Double and Float Values in SQLite?
SQLite, a lightweight and server–less relational database management system, provides powerful features for handling various data types, including double and float values.
In this article, we will explore various methods along with examples for inserting double and float values into SQLite tables, ensuring data integrity and precision.
