In SQLite, the datatype of a value is associated with the value itself, not with the column type. So suppose we have a table with an integer primary key "id" and an integer column "some_number". If I do a query like this:

INSERT INTO mytable (id, some_number) VALUES (NULL, "1234")

Will 123 be inserted as an integer or as string? What consequences it will have later for me, say, when I'm comparing it with other value like "234" (as a number 1234 > 234, as a string "1234" < "234", right?)?
