    From the article:

    There are a few legitimate downsides to using SQLite. First off, the type system. It’s bad. Luckily, as of a month ago, you can use strict typing instead, which somewhat improves the situation.

    That’s a terribly weak argument. No details, no rationale, not objective evidence, no insightz nothing. “It’s bad.” That’s the full extent of the analysis.

    Quite weak.

      SQLite’s type system could accurately be described as “there is no type system”. And the developers consider it a feature not a bug.

      A recently added “STRICT” feature changes that. But it’s very rudimentary.
