Hello, I see some issue with SqLite3 lately that didn't exist before.

They have to do with the datatype of the results of a query.

issue 1 : SqlMax(some time column) returns WSTRING_V result instead of TIME_V
issue 2 : Selecting a BOOL column also returns WSTRING_V result instead of BOOL_V

again, it only applies to SqLite, on MySql it works correctly

I enclosed an example

BOOL behaviour is as expected (BOOL in .sch is always emulated by text column to be consistent across all DBs).

With SqlMax it seems we are simply out of luck:

Impossible to do better there I am afraid Sad

But regardless of implementation, with Mysql an assignment to a bool variable goes right.

I have no issue discontinuing BOOL_ and using INT_ instead if it is too tricky or not worth it to fix.

Well, that is rather nasty inconsistence with MySql.... Sorry, long time ago MySql was contributed package and I missed this one. Cannot fix that now without breaking existing code Sad

That said, maybe we could introduce a new schema type, e.g. "LOGICAL" that maps to bool and uses database 'bool' where possible and smallest number where not possible?

ok. Thanks.
I'll use int for now.
