I claimed "I could see people who are super-cereal about types getting bunged up about it in SQLite" ... which seems to have been borne out.
If you don't know what your data looks like because you're just wading into filthy data, being loose about your types is not the worst thing in the world. That's all.
You know the progression. You get this file, claims were made about what was in the file and its structure, its data, but then you realize that these claims are ... aspirational at best. You open it up in a notepad or cat it or whatever. Yup, it's awful.
Can you maybe look at it in the spreadsheet? How bad are the line endings anyway?
And the next step from that is trying to pull it into SQLite, because it won't fail when I start trying to cram junk into it. I am in no way claiming that I want to use SQLite as my final database.
