Every value in SQLite has one of five fundamental datatypes:

- 64-bit signed integer
- 64-bit IEEE floating point number
- string
- BLOB
- NULL

These constants are codes for each of those types.

Note that the SQLITE_TEXT constant was also used in SQLite version 2 for a completely different meaning. Software that links against both SQLite version 2 and SQLite version 3 should use SQLITE3_TEXT, not SQLITE_TEXT.
