- SQLite strict tables enforce rigid typing to prevent type mismatches on insert/update.
- Strict tables only allow valid column types (INT, INTEGER, REAL, TEXT, BLOB, ANY) and require explicit column definitions.
- Strict tables cannot be applied to existing tables; migration involves copying data to a new strict table.
- The ANY datatype in strict tables allows flexibility for any value type.
- Strict tables were introduced in SQLite 3.37.0 (November 2021) and may not be compatible with older versions.
