sqlite3

Hi there,

When creating a table in SQLite3, I get confused when confronted with all the possible datatypes which imply similar contents, so could anyone tell me the difference between the following data-types?

INT, INTEGER, SMALLINT, TINYINT

DEC, DECIMAL

LONGCHAR, LONGVARCHAR

DATETIME, SMALLDATETIME

Is there some documentation somewhere which lists the min./max. capacities of the various data-types? For example, I guess smallint holds a larger maximum value than tinyint, but a smaller value than integer, but I have no idea of what these capacities are.

Any help would be appreciated.
