Hello,
I just noticed a weird behaviour of PDO for my SQLite database and found
a hint online. Just wanted to check here.
Is it correct that PDO will return all queried values from the fetch
method as string, no matter the actual data type? I couldn't find that
notice by glancing over the documentation. (Such an unexpected note
should be very well visible.)
If that's the case, can it be fixed immediately (for PHP 7.4 and later)?
Or what alternatives to PDO could I use for SQLite only? I need prepared
statements and parameter binding.
I know how SQLite handles data types, and it includes remembering the
type that was given to it. If PHP/PDO then destroys it, it's of very
limited use.
My code looks like this:
$ps = $this->connection->prepare('select * from table');
$ps->execute();
$record = $ps->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
